A Hilarious Collection of Essays from one of America's Most Gifted Humorists! Follow New York Times bestselling author Mary Roach --
but be careful not to trip -- as she weaves through personal
anecdotes and everyday musings riddled with her uncanny wit and
amazingly analytical eye. These essays, which found a
well-deserved home within the pages of Reader's Digest as
the column "My Planet," detail the inner workings of
hypochondriacs, hoarders, and compulsive cheapskates. (Did we
mention neurotic interior designers and professional list-makers?)
For Roach, humor is hidden in the most unlikely places, which
means that nothing is off limits. Whether she is dwelling on her
age or talking about the pros and cons of a bedroom night light --
"A married couple can best be defined as a unit of people whose
sleep habits are carefully engineered to keep each other
awake" -- Roach finds a lesson, a slice of sarcasm, or a dash
of something special that makes each day comical and absolutely
priceless.
In keeping with our mission -- curating the best reads in the land
-- Reader's Digest editors neatly packaged these timeless
(and hilarious) Roach essays together for the first time. Whether
you read this cover-to-cover or during spare moments over morning
coffee, flip to a page in this volume and try not to smile. pub date: 2013-04-04 | Paperback | 9781621450719 |
