About this ebook

Do you like dogs? Babies? Baby dogs? Have you ever eaten ice cream or had love troubles? Wish there were dirty parts in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the book for you.

It’s all here: This impressively consecutive collection of funny writing by Larry Doyle, the winner of the 2008 Thurber Prize for American Humor, a former writer for The Simpsons, and the author of I Love You, Beth Cooper, brings together an astonishing range of subjects under the umbrella of hilarious—an umbrella that is your free gift if you order right now.

Too late. But you can still take home this enormously entertaining read, featuring writing from the New Yorker, Esquire, and National Lampoon, along with never-before-seen pieces only available in this exclusive offer. Here’s what other happy customers had to say:

“[Doyle] is, as his credits suggest, wickedly funny.” —New York Times Book Review

“If Earth ever needs an Interplanetary Humor Ambassador, Larry Doyle’s the guy.”—Washington Post

Ratings and reviews

When in need of an alternate universe, this book is a great place to go. One definitely needs a sense of humor, an appreciation for well written material, and a non-threatening darkness that lures one's thoughts from the polite, acceptable boredom of civilized society while never completely embodying one's ego. It's comprised of separate essays, so there is no legitimate reason to read it through completely at once. It's a recreational alternative, not intended to be an addiction as some appear to need.
