As a journalist in central Illinois, Larry Crossett could be counted on to toe the line. He covered gubernatorial campaigns, board meetings, soldier deployments, and school service projects…always in the buttoned up, just-the-facts writing style demanded by today’s newspaper editors. Then, the pressure got to him. Thus was born “The Midwest Journey,” an occasionally touching, sometimes inspirational, most often wacky and always entertaining syndicated feature that constantly catches readers by surprise. Collected here are a baker’s dozen choice offerings from seven years of The Midwest Journey, including “Answer Man”—the idiot who knows everything. “Proton Bowl”—secrets of particle physics. “Molly’s Song”—for the pet lover in you, and “ICM not IBM”—about a homeless ministry dear to the author’s heart. "As the editor of a small newspaper, what space we might devote to non-local news can only go toward high quality work that we are sure our readers will enjoy. Not only will you enjoy Larry Crossett’s writing, but I can’t help believe we will all benefit from his clever insights and gentle ways.” Wendy Marks Martin—Editor, Mason County Democrat.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Gentle stories filled with sensitive humor and insights into everyday smalltown life! Most enjoyable. By Rob Natiuk The author's introduction lets us into his journey of wanting to be a writer. Besides writing local news for his town's newspaper, he also wrote a weekly humor column for the last 7 years. So he had more than enough for a book, right? Wrong, he discovered as he went through more than 300 of his columns. Many were no longer of current or national interest. But he chose enough for this book, revised and re-worked. And we have a humorous book with a nostalgic midwestern feel to it. America at its best! And funniest. And "God-honoring."We're off to a rollicking adventure right up front in the first story--"The Dark Knight Rises"-- about the author's attempts to get rid of the "bat invader." Successfully, he thought. But that bat arose from the trash can and into the kitchen. And then into the bedroom. Finally -- I won't spoil the ending for you, except to say with the author, "Godspeed, my friend." That to a bat--"the dark knight."More stories along that line-- "Ceremonies and Salt Pellets"... "Jumping Fish" is up there with the Jumping Frogs of Calaveras Country by Mark Twain. Homely and humorous stories in a gentle way-- "Ant Infestastion"... cat stories... stories of smalltown humans... golf balls and the Large Hadron Collider. The author's humor is much about connections between things that hardly any one, except an astute country humorist, would connect.I'm so glad this book and author came into my life! I believe you'll be glad too-- that is, if you like gentle laughter that stays with you throughout the day, or soothes you into dreamland. But you might dream about flying bats, jumping fish, Dr. Bananas, and colliders the size of golf balls. A most enjoyable journey, it will be! I look forward to more books by this modern Will Rogers. He writes clearly, no grammar problems, and no excess words. A wonderful combination.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A 21st CENTURY MARK TWAIN HERE?! By Bernie Lutchman I think we have found our own Midwestern 21st century “Mark Twain” – right here in Mason City, Illinois, in the form of newspaper reporter/author/graphic designer Larry Crossett! I usually do not write reviews on every Kindle book I purchase and/or read, but this one brings a ready smile which stays all the way through this very fast read. The name of the work is “BEST FOOT FORWARD: God Honoring Humor (Midwest Journey).Derived from a collection of essays, which Larry mentioned were published in several area weekly newspapers, the short chapters are bite sized enough with descriptive expertise for which Midwestern humorists like Twain, Will Rogers and Garrison Keillor have come to be recognized. The humor is both personal, from Crossett’s family life foibles as well as from observation of Midwestern small town and rural life.For instance, having seen the environmentally destructive flying Asian carp fish operate in our Midwestern rivers, one gets the same feel of being in the boat on “Redneck Fishing Tournament” days as Huck Finn had on the Mississippi on a raft (chapter on Jumping Fish). Also, the winter of 2015 brought infestation of ants in almost every Midwestern homes and kitchens, due to high water tables. So the chapter on “Ant Infestation” brings a little humor to that real life annoyance. The essay on “ENFIDOL” is an extremely funny satire on medication infomercials (or maybe it wasn’t a satire…hmmm)!The book's chapters include titles like ICM not IBM; Amy vs Cat; When Golf Ball Collide and more. This is definitely a fun read to lighten the seriousness of the time, even for an hour or two. Also, fear not – Book 2 – “The Wisdom of Answer Man….More God Honoring Humor” will follow this Spring. All us who love the writings of Mark Twain and now, his modern day successor, eagerly look forward to that and more Midwest Journey humor, along the way!
