I bought this book as a gift for my mother. Of course I had to read it myself, too. This book is a fun, quick read. I loved so much while reading it. It is crazy how ridiculous (or just simply stupid) people can be. There is not much I can say since this book is really short. I can, however, highly ...
This is one of those books I would read a few pages from every time I saw it in a bookstore. I was about halfway. But then it was no longer necessary since my sister gave me this little book for my birthday last month. It's a quick funny read. Not ROFL funny, and some have the feeling that they we...
This book is an ode to bookshops everywhere. Broken down by continent there's a small bit about interesting, famous, or extraordinarily unique bookshops all over the world. Interspersed throughout are short essays written by authors about their love of reading and the importance of bookshops, incl...
Suffice it to say, the title of this book says it all. I found it to be a very entertaining book, part of which I read on the subway today, suppressing a chuckle every now and then so as not to draw undue attention to myself from fellow riders. I'd like to cite two excerpts from the book which made ...
Well this was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. There are some pretty weird... and dumb people out there and it is only natural they find their way into bookshops one way or another. Some for the silliest reasons.“CUSTOMER: If I were to, say... meet the love of my life in this bookshop, wha...

This little book is a lot of fun. It kind of reminded me of my experiences at a help desk. Maybe I should write that version of this theme. Like this little gem: Woman: My computer froze. It doesn't do anything. Me: Have you tried to reboot it. Woman: I told you it's frozen. I can't turn it off. M...
More Weird Things is much like the first book, but shorter. There were also a lot more warm, fuzzy conversations, especially with children in the various stores.It feels like all of the best material went into the first book, though - the section dedicated to the author's store was much smaller, for...
Oh, I laughed so hard while I was reading this.It's incredibly amusing and depressing at the same time.Do I believe that these conversations really happened? I work in the hospitality industry. Of course I do. Every single week without fail, for five years now, I have had to direct at least two peop...
Funny. Just funny. I read these aloud on a road trip, and they made the time fly by. Some of them have a tinge of sadness, the kind of sadness that comes when you realize you're of the same species as the folks saying these things, but most of them are just highly entertaining.
