Oh, the Things I Know! 63 reviews Al Franken
Plume, 2003
Oh, the Puzzling Poor Reviews You'll Read
If you're expecting one of Franken's biting political satires, you'll be disappointed. If you're expecting Stuart Smalley, you'll be disappointed. If you have no expectations whatsoever, and your sense of humor is even remotely in tune with Franken's, you'll have a blast (plan on a) chuckling a ...

Don't Misunderstand Me - I Think You're a Moron (Office Conversation Edition) 1 review
CleverLivingOnline.com, 2007
This book is entertaining
With each page it was funnier and funnier and I kept thinking to myself this is so true!! Everyone spends so much time being politically correct in the office-I love that the authors just put the reality out there. This is such a good laugh and as an added bonus-the office is a whole lot more ...

Who Cut The Cheese? 20 reviews
Simon & Schuster, 2004
Brilliant!
+ A Sophisticated Demolition of Corporate Values
My boss forced me to read the original, and it practically killed me. This book took some of the pain away (though not the recurring nightmares). As for some reviewers charges of "crudeness" and ethnic stereotyping, I found Brown's coarser jokes to be a refreshingly politically incorrect tonic. ...

The Wacky Misadventures of Warble McGorkle 1 review Clay Shannon
BookSurge, 2004
Best to avoid.
As a character Warble is pretty good. Good enough, in fact, to carry the reader through the first fifty pages - unfortunately, the book last for another three hundred. This book may have been better if Warble had a decent supporting cast (Mary isn't good enough - too much witlessness and not enough ...

Naked Republicans: A Full-frontal Exposure of Right-wing Hypocrisy and Greed 11 reviews Shelley Lewis
Villard, 2006
Capitol Hill-arious
+ Great Book + scary views of Republican leaders
Incredibly funny, well investigated, and delivered spot on! It is hard to believe that the politicians mentioned have actually made such humorous statements - but they have. A great plane read, or anywhere read really.

Lots of little vignettes about various stupid, inefficient, or outright criminal things going on in American life. No one is spared, like the Simpsons or South Park they are equal opportunity offenders. Big government, big business, and mom and pop alike all have their foibles pointed out and their ...

A co-worker of mine strongly recommended "White Trash Etiquette" on a recent business trip, and was kind enough to let me borrow his copy. I read it cover-to-cover in my hotel room, and spent a good chunk of time chuckling at Dr. Verne's musings on life. This is a very, very funny book. It's quite ...

The Five People You Meet in Hell: An Unauthorized Parody 9 reviews Rich Pablum

Great Parody
If you liked Mitch Albom's book, you'll find this one very entertaining. Its a downright hilarious mockery of it's sappy, nutra-sweet cousin.
If you don't have a sense of humor you may not like it. You also may not like it if you're out to learn something.
