About the Book
2010 – New Release Puts Humorous Spin on the Miseries of Life, Big or Small
6001 Things You Won’t Miss When You’re Dead
is released by author David Dell Johnson
Some people may think about what they’ll miss when they pass away, such as loved ones, watching their favorite teams compete, pushing their body to the limit or eating a delicious plate of pasta. But how many people have considered things they will not miss once they are gone?
In 6001 Things You Won’t Miss When You’re Dead, author David Dell Johnson offers a candid, humorous catalog of life’s irritants, miseries and unpleasant situations. The list begins with the serious aspects of life: nuclear war, AIDS, serial killers, unemployment, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, hate crimes and Third World poverty. The book quickly mixes in more mundane irritations of life: acid reflux, insurance salesman, hangovers, spam mail and incompetence. Along the way, it lists even sillier things not to miss: being told “No,” fat guys in Speedos, moot points, Chia pets, bad hair days and taking care of your lazy kid’s pet.
The author’s goal is to “make readers smile with the understanding that when they depart this world it will no doubt come with a silver lining.” Johnson is a decorated U.S. Air Force officer and career civil servant who lives in Alexandria, Va. His experiences traveling around the globe have shaped his unusual view of the world.
