Just a note that, as I'm sure everyone knows, this week's Wordsmith is Dr. Mardy Grothe who has recently published the book: Viva la Repartee: Clever Comebacks and Witty Retorts From History's Great Wits & Wordsmiths (Collins). For more, visit http://vivalarepartee.com.

Mardy's great and a friend, so I just have to plug his books. To learn more about him, go to: http://www.DrMardyGrothe.com.

Enjoy!

So, you're giving us a month to actually read some of his books before voting?

Anyways, I've never read his books. Why a poll, per se?

Just for the fun of it and to see if anyone on the board has ever read any of this books - especially since he's this week's "Wordsmith".
