In 1983, David Brenner added another dimension to his career

contained anecdotal accounts from Brenner's life, went into multiple hardcover

to sign David Brenner to a multiple book deal. His second book, titled "Revenge
Is The Best Exercise" is a hilarious and light-hearted look into our health
conscious society. His third book, "Nobody Ever Sees You Eat Tuna Fish" was
written in response to the demand for more stories and anecdotes about his
multi-dimensional life. Brenner's latest book, titled, "If God Wanted Us to
Travel..." is a humorous look at all aspects of travel. Included are stories
