Title: Up Shit Creek: A Collection of Horrifyingly True Wilderness Toilet Misadventures by Joe Lindsay ISBN: 0898159393 Publisher: Ten Speed Press Pub. Date: 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $5.95 |

Summary: Amusing in a childish way
Comment: Scatological humour is fine in the right place and in small doses. Up Sh*t Creek meets neither criteria. The right place is in the men's room, or round a camp fire, where this type of story can be related first hand by the participants or witnesses. Small doses simply means that one or two stories are enough. Up Sh*t Creek attempts to bring together dozens of toilet jokes and, by doing so, is guilty of overkill - the stories lose their impact.
Probably the best place for this book is in the room we all use but seldom discuss. There, the stories can be 'digested' little by little and might pass for a few chuckles. Don't expect anything too cerebral, don't buy the book if the discussion of bodily functions offends you, and don't lick your fingers as you turn the pages!

Summary: Omigod omigod!
Comment: This is not a book to be read immediately before or immediately after a meal.
You will learn more about the logistics of removing human waste from wilderness areas than you probably cared to know.
You may find yourself screaming in horror as you hurl this book as far as the walls of the bathroom will let you.
You will laugh and in the process, you will learn something about whitewater rafting from the stories, the diagrams, and the glossary in the back.
This is a bathroom classic. Choose your time for reading it carefully!

Summary: Not worth buying
Comment: I have what has been described (by my mother) as a bathroom sense of humor, so I thought I would enjoy this book. Instead, in the approximately 30 minutes it takes to read, I was rewarded with only one small chuckle. Around the campfire, well lubricated by consciousness changing substances, some of these stories could probably be a hit. On paper they are, well, boring and sophmoric. And don't think you'll be able to read them, then tell them to your friends around the campfire -- they won't translate in that sense. You're better off just making up your own stories. If you can imagine just one instance when a relatively small amount of feces ended up on your own or someone else's flesh, you already know everything this book has to offer.
