The Onion
Little, Brown and Company, 2007
The GREATEST book ever written
+ A comic tour de force
+ Funny AND educational

Me Talk Pretty One Day735 reviews
David Sedaris
Back Bay Books, 2001
Do Not Read While Eating Because It's So Funny You Might Choke
+ David Sedaris does it again!
+ Not heartwarming... in a good way.
When I opened this book I had limited time so I decided to look for the shortest essay in the book so I could sneak in a quick read. I selected "Big Boy" which started on page 97 and ended before the next essay that started on page 100. By the end of the first paragraph I was already laughing and ...

Absolutely fantastic
+ Painful to read, mostly plotless, but entertaining

If Monty Python produced a book about the corporate world....
+ "Burn, baby, burn!"
+ Business is funny.. glad that someone finally wrote about it that way!
I laughed out loud through this entire book. Anyone working in the corporate world (or someone like me who works in the government) will "get" this book. I recognized so many people the authors poke fun at--a few times I even recognized myself. This book is very funny, clever and irreverent, and it ...

Stephen Colbert
Grand Central Publishing, 2007
I was sad to see this book end!
+ So far so good....
+ Funny book
This book is incredibly hilarious, if you "get" Stephen Colbert's type of humor. If you like his show, you'll love this book. His tongue-in-cheek, extreme rightwing pundit character is just as politically incorrect as ever, and just so so funny. Complete with his opinion everywhere, including in ...
