Hiaasen For Kids (Greg Laden's Blog)

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 23:08:56 GMT

I very recently reviewed Carl Hiaasen's novels. Among his fiction are two books that are written explicitly for kids. Looking just at Hiaasen's titles it may be hard to pick them out from the pack, so I'm making a special reference to them here. They are called "Hoot" and "Flush." Details follow: Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 20:03:26 GMT

So at my daughter’s new school, the kids are reading this book, Hoot by Carl Hiaasen. You may have heard of it. It was also a movie. I’ve never seen it; maybe you have. You may know of Carl Hiaasen, or even be a fan of his work–his usual genre is [...]

Hiassen on why Obama:Wright =/= McCain:Falwell, Hagee et al. (Dr. Joan Bushwell's Chimpanzee Refuge)

Sun, 11 May 2008 21:09:54 GMT

Carl Hiaasen writes in his Miami Herald column today about Sen. Barack Obaba's association with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a yammering jackass who happens to be African-American but whose chief characteristic is his religious lunacy, a destructive influence which -- like alcoholism, AIDS, poverty, and other afflictions nearly as devastating and corrupt as a faith-based world view -- is...

Wildcats Really Love Living on Golf Courses (JSpot.org)

Mon, 05 May 2008 23:36:58 GMT

I grew up on Carl Hiaasen 's novels about South Florida. I always thought they were hilarious. I admired the environmentalism that suffused his books without making them preachy, and I admired the astonishing depth of his cynicism about the human race (I was that kind of kid). I guess if I had really learned that well from him, I wouldn't have been so surprised to learn that his latest...

Truth is Sometimes As Strange As Fiction (Boggartblog)

The American author Carl Hiaasen writes hilarious books set in Florida, where he was born and raised. Mr. Hiaasen obviously cares a great deal for his native state and its wildlife. In his books the anti- hero gets his come uppance at the hands of nature, along with a little help from some truly off the wall characters who, like Hiaasen, care very much about the effect...

Carl Hiaasen “Basket Case” (Everybody lies)

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 19:35:10 GMT

... reading this. What more can you ask from a book? So, whoever it was that said something nice about Carl Hiaasen's books and made me pick this one up in the first place: I thank you very much. It seems I have found a new author to look out for. And I just love to find someone new to read when they have already written several books, because that means I have a lot of catching up to...

The right author for the job (Pharyngula)

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 15:25:38 GMT

Kevin Beck tells us that finally, Florida has the right spokesman for the creationist situation down there: Carl Hiaasen has written an editorial . If you don't know Hiaasen, you should — he writes hilarious comic novels that highlight the absurdity of politics and culture and crime in Florida. I'm wondering if he doesn't see the recent creationist shenanigans in his state as...

Mort (Discworld Novels (Paperback)) (PaperBackSwap.com)

Sat, 05 May 2007 11:46:45 GMT

Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent novels are consistent number one bestseller in England, where they have catapulted him into the highest echelons of parody next to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen. In this Discworld installment, Death comes to Mort with an offer he can't refuse -- especially since being, well, dead isn't compulsory. As Death's apprentice,...
