Thanks to the Minnesota Lawyer, we know that Justice Stevens is a fan of Dave Barry.

In an interview with the New York Times Review of Books, former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens said that the last book to make him laugh was by humorist Dave Barry.

Stevens said that the best writers on the subject of law are Justice Stephen Breyer and Judge Richard Posner, and he said that he reads U.S. Supreme Court opinions when he travels.  Ever the careful justice, he twice lauded the plays and works “attributed to William Shakespeare.”
