Thoughts of an Average Joe
By Brian Daniels
By Brian Daniels
Average Joe Wright of Smalltown, USA loves to give his opinions on why the modern world confuses and frustrates him. Sometimes those opinions get him into trouble. Laugh along as Joe fumbles his way through the twenty-first century in his second book.
Joe Wright (alter-ego of author Brian Daniels) is a middle-aged, thickaround-the-middle everyman trying to make sense of the modern world. He offers his thoughts on pertinent issues in essays like “I’m Not Ready for the Wireless World” and “Poachers Are Not Hunters.”
