    Author: Adam Selzer
    ISBN:  978-0-385-73650-3


    There are some books that simply feel like they are made for a certain type of reader.  This book, I have to say, “called out” to me when I opened the battered box that looked like it had survived the fast-paced world of the postal service just to get into my hands

    Ladies, you’ll love this book.  You’ll get angry at Lindsay for being a welcome mat; you will both deplore and applaud her choices; and you’ll scream at the pages and roll your eyes when Lindsay keeps walking headfirst into trouble – but you’ll find yourself routing for her the whole way through

    Author: Joe Dungan

    Follow me David has to be the oddest, most humorous and flippant bit of English life to come our way


    Author: Robert Rave            
    Publishers: St. Martin’s Press
    ISBN: 978-0-312-54436-2

    This zany novel presented all of the necessary ingredients for non-stop reading and entertainment to the max (i.e., drugs, sex, insider celebrity profiles, scandal, and more).  I was honestly sad to see it end. As a first novel this was better than superlative!  I look forward to watching this book rise up the charts and gain recognition and accolades for author Robert Rave. Congrats on a job well done!

    In today’s global market, people are losing their jobs at the rate of hundreds a day as the recession grinds along.  Each time, families are left scrambling to try to pay the bills.  That is not a very funny issue, but Larry Solomon has taken the depressing and lightened it up a bit.  He himself spent some time unemployed and this work is based a little on his experiences, but mostly on fiction.

    ISBN: 13: 978-1-4165-9950-0

    Sure, you think most books are written by humans. But this book doesn‘t fall into this ‘neat‘ category, instead the author is a seven-pound Papillon. Genevieve. As ‘barktated’ by her owner, errr make that human companion, author and stand-up comedian Dr. Dennis Fried.

    Author: Diana Estill
    ISBN: 13: 978-0-9799708-1-8:  10: 0-9799708-1-4

    If you are looking for a good belly laugh, this is it. Diana Estill’s writing is wickedly hilarious being blessed with one-liner insights into life’s frustrations and how to copy with them through humor. In fact, I would even go so far as to compare her to a female version of Andy Rooney of Sixty Minutes fame.

    For anyone who has ever considered getting a tattoo or even for those of you who have them, this is the book for you.

    Chronicled inside are the most insane, ridiculous and shocking tattoos to have been inked onto the skin of the anonymous, the insane and the down-right stupid.

    This hilarious book has been compared to the writing of Erma Bombeck and written in a series of mini-essays by a woman who clearly feels confident, has a good sense of humour and “does not grow tomatoes and rarely sits in lawn chairs”.
