If I was stranded on a desert island I'd want to have something to keep myself busy, like a woman, a bag of pot, or perhaps even a book...like this one!

PRANKS! woke me up from a deep slumber...the first twenty years of my life. It's as if a demolition crew had a party in my brain.

This contemporary BIBLE is made up of a collection of interviews and essays by some of the nuttiest ontological anarchists to have ever walked the face of this daydream planet. Contributers include Boyd Rice, Abbie Hoffman, Frank Discussion, Jello Biafra, Timothy Leary, Paul Mavrides and tons more.

The subject of pranks is treated in a profound philosophical way. A prank can act as a rift through the fabric of reality and literally change a person's life and/or destroy anti-chaotic systems. Keep in mind that we are not talking about frat-boy pranks here.

I've never met a person who did not rant and rave after reading this book and the quotations at the back are worth the cover price alone.

I love this book. I thought I was the only weirdo out there, but this book inspires me to be weirder. Great interviews with Dead Kennedy singer Jello Biafra, Abbie Hoffman and Henry Rollins. One of the few books I pick up weekly, even though I've read it from cover to cover many times. Still cracks me up.
