5.0 out of 5 stars There's no business like woe business! August 8, 2011

By G. Conrad

Format:Paperback

This is a funny book! Subtitled "tales to make you realize your life is awesome," this collection of comic essays does just that. Schadenfreude was never so much fun.

I got a paper cut reading it just so I can be in the next edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Woe is Me, Woe is US! July 22, 2011

By D. J. McAlister

Format:Paperback

This is the best book I have read in a long time! Not just because it made me laugh, but because it demonstrates that I am not the only one who has these things happen to them. The story about the paddle swan boats is a classic!

If you have ever thought what would happen if you took advice from a homeless person, this is the book for you!
