Nuns Having Fun

3.7/5 ( ratings)

Hallelujah, it's a book! After proving itself to be the "funniest calendar of the year" , "irresistible" , and "habit-forming" , the Nuns Having Fun calendar has inspired "Nuns Having Fun," a book of endearing nuttiness.

Catholic kitsch doesn't get any funnier. Written by Maureen Kelly and Jeffrey Stone, pitch-perfect co-authors of the nuns calendar and the "New York Times" bestseller "Growing Up Catholic," "Nuns Having Fun" features hundreds of sisters in full habit, cutting loose and having a hoot.

Here are nuns in the surf , nuns in bumper cars , nuns in a beer hall , and nuns in the museum, huddled in front of a study of nudes . There are nuns on skates, at bat, at the theater, skeet shooting , even hitting the slots .

The 125 images are from the 1950s and '60s, black-and-white and possessing a pure retro charm; the written material is all-new. Drawing on their years as parochial school students, the authors explore the lore and legends surrounding nuns, including Favorite Punishments from Nuns, Nuns Say the Darndest Things, How to Recognize a Nun After Vatican II, a Wimple Watch, and List of People Who Could Have Been Nuns.

As Sister says, "To err is human. To laugh is divine."
