As John Hodgman says in this book's introduction, “We all
know that books are funny. First, they are made of paste
and cloth, which is funny, as is the fact that people still
buy and read them.” With that in mind, the McSweeney's Joke
Book of Book Jokes collects the best book-related humor
from the humor-laden archives of McSweeney's Internet
Tendency. Open it and be regaled by such sketches, lists,
letters, and spoofs as: Postcards from James Joyce to his Brother Stan
Winnie-the-Pooh is My Coworker
Ikea Product or Lord of the Rings Character?
Popular Children's Fairy Tales Reimagined Using Members of
My Family
The Very Unauthorized Biography of Steven Seagal
Chuck Norris Erotica
John Updike, Television Writer
Jane Eyre Runs for President
Cormac McCarthy Writes to the Editor of the Santa Fe New
Mexican
Holden Caulfield Gives the Commencement Speech to a High
School
Letters from Odysseus's College Roommate
And many dozens more.
