Summary of this Book... | ||
A collection of short essays from one of comedy's true geniuses. | ||
This type of Book is good for... | ||
Quick, mindless, blurb reading | ||
I especially liked... | ||
The easy accessibilty. Each piece is no longer than three pages. Great for a quick pick me up. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
This book is too short. At 115 pages, it was over too quickly. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
Read certain pieces again. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
Is one of the true pioneers of comedy. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
The subtlety in some of the humor is too great to try to explain. The piece 'Times Roman Font Announces Shortageof Periods' is one of the most ingenious bits of comedy ever written | ||
Further Comments... | ||
The first story 'Writing is Easy!' should be required reading for anyone trying to write something funny. There are many stories(Dear Amanda, Changes in the Memory After Fifty, Taping My Friends to name a few) that still make me laugh after multiple readings. This book is the reason I like to write. | ||
