I'm glad that I got this book from the library. I would have hated to have paid money for it. The ideas are a bit simplistic and anyone who has spent more than a few minutes reflecting upon life would come up with most of them. On the other hand, it might be right for someone just entering the

Quick & easy read. Many entries made me smile. Who doesn't love stepping on crunchy leaves or the sound of barely frozen puddles cracking when you step on them? I thought I was the only one that experiences a feeling of happiness while peeling that sticky glue off the back of your new credit card!

Seriously, is there any feeling better in the world than when the hiccups stop? I think not. Any bigger feeling of accomplishment than when you place the last piece in a puzzle? Ummm...maybe only when you open a book to the exact page you were looking for.

I don't know why I bothered reading this. The first one was awful and this one is worse. He was stretching to get his "funny" ideas. A lot of them don't make sense. Such a waste of time. Again I skipped through the long drawn out descriptions. They aren't needed!

This is better as a one sentence

tumblr blog, not as a book.

Oh, And if you have to explain to us a concept that you think is funny, like "Glue Movies" pretty sure its not funny. It's got to be something everyone relates too and understands. If you have to explain why you called it that, it means you're the only one who calls it that.

This book is dumb and not worth your time. Don't be stupid like me and try to read it.

It wasn't worth the twenty five cents I spent on it.
