In honor of this week's humorous book, we're picking our favorite humorous books this week!
Mine is, awkwardly, an upcoming review book, so I'll say very little about it. Years ago, our friend Christopher told me I needed to read this book: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling, probably best known for her role on The Office. She's also a comedy writer, and her style translates well to bookhood.
But you'll hear more about it in a few weeks... (Oh the suspense!)
I was going to put Paper Towns here, but decided that it's not technically a humor book, it just happens to be hysterically funny. So I chose a different book by our author this week!
Our book this week is an actual story that Dave Barry wrote. I'll Mature When I'm Dead is more like his columns, and in fact, some of the stories in there are directly from his column. He had a Twilight parody (which is pretty much the funniest one that I've read ever), he talks about his dog and his kids and all this real life stuff that's so excruciatingly funny, it could only true.
