Horseradish:\u00a0 Bitter Truths You Can’t Avoid, <\/em>by Lemony Snicket<\/p>\n

HarperCollinsPublishers, New York, 2007.\u00a0 168 pages.<\/p>\n

ISBN: 978-0-06-124006-5<\/p>\n

Here’s the humor of Lemony Snicket, author of A Series of Unfortunate Events, <\/em>without the depressing storyline.\u00a0 I’ve always thought his sense of humor hilarious — but get too thoroughly immersed in the story to really enjoy orphans with one dreadful problem after another.<\/p>\n

This book is a series of humorous insights on life ranging from a paragraph long to a page or two.\u00a0 I picked it up and soon was reading aloud from it to anyone I could find.\u00a0 And laughing more and more, the longer I read.<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t recommend reading this book in one sitting.\u00a0 That would be a bit much.\u00a0 But having it around to get a daily dose of laughter is a great idea.<\/p>\n

Here’s a link to some of the entries I couldn’t resist quoting:<\/p>\n

I found this to be a hilarious and utterly silly book.<\/p>\n
