Thoughts of an Average Joe

A collection of humorous commentaries from New England's “Joe Wright”, an ordinary, middle-aged man struggling to understand twenty-first century life.

Created for his humor column, author Brian Daniels's Joe Wright is “a clueless, middle-aged, thick-around-the-middle man who is hopelessly stuck in the twentieth century.” Thoughts of an Average Joe is the hilarious ramblings of a man whose commentaries voice the confusion and angst of a simple, old dude trying to make sense of life in the modern world.

In this book, Joe expresses his thoughts about the many issues that confuse or annoy him: “I'm Not Ready for the Wireless World,” “Poachers Ain't Hunters,” and “I'm Comfortable in My Old Skin.”

You'll get to know Joe, his beloved northern New England hometown “Smalltown”, his fascinating friends and family members, Dan's Market, Small-Mart, Blake's Esso Station, and the Smalltown News. He hopes his stories will bring a smile to your face and warm your heart.

“These short essays are not only very funny, they are stunningly accurate in their vivid portrayal of growing up, working, marrying, raising a family and living in a small, rural Maine town.” —Bill Bushnell, Kennebec Journal
