The Adventures of Augie March
Saul Bellow“My, oh my. This, strangers, is the ever-elusive Great American Novel. To effectively convey its worth I'd have to write twenty pages, but I'll attempt a blurb: Saul Bellow is a satirist in...” more »
Welcome to the Monkey House
Kurt Vonnegut“I've loaned this book out four times. No one ever gives it back.”
The Collected Stories of Amy Hempel
Rick Moody, Amy Hempel“What if Raymond Carver was a woman, a genius, and not an asshole? The result would be similar, but not quite up to par with Amy Hempel. I defy anyone to read this story and not burst into...” more »

Holy Bible, King James Version
American Bible Society“This book is hilarious! It cured me of Christianity at age 13. I still can't believe that people put their faith in it. http://www.thebricktestament.com/the_law/index.html”
Mr. Funny Pants
Michael Showalter“http://www.michaelshowalter.net/2007/06/07/ten-things-to-do-to-impress-a-lady-on-a-date/”
The Devil's Dictionary
Ambrose Bierce“A better title would be: How To Be Cynical About Everything: A Compendium of Epigrams. A few of my favorites: NOISE, n. A stench in the ear. Undomesticated music. The chief product...” more »
