5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for embittered cynics (like me!), November 7, 2000

By	Circe "circe-nightshade" (US) - See all my reviews

The title caught my eye and after reading only a few lines, I knew I'd hit the jackpot. When I read the whole book, I laughed so hard my ribs hurt, and that's pretty amazing considering I'm a pessimist. This book is the ideal gift for intellectual, sarcastic cynics who have a warped sense of humor. I wouldn't recommend it for the cutesy, 'huggy bunny' class of folks...first of all, they wouldn't 'get' the jokes, and secondly they'd be outraged if not horrified. This makes the book all more fun and appealing to those of us who are amused by the darker side of life. I salute the authors for going out on a limb, and the publisher for not letting politically correct doctrine get in the way of having some cynical laughs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Instant humor to lighten the soul. Reading our true thoughts, November 28, 1998

By	Karl G. Degenhart (KGDEGY@AOL.COM) (Douglassville,PA) - See all my reviews

If you ever drifted your thoughts during a conversation and thought, "I wish I could say what I'm really thinking right now," you need to read this book. Rarely can I listen to a comic or read the funny pages in the newspaper and have a good deep laugh. After reading `Today I Will Nourish My Inner Martyr` I felt I wasn't the only cynical person in the world who would like to say, "Tonight by moonlight I will rake leaves onto my neighbors yard."

5.0 out of 5 stars For the pessimist in all of us, July 15, 2004

By	BostonJen "jensch" (Norton, MA USA) - See all my reviews

I have turned my copy into an autograph book; I have my friends and co-workers sign the quote that is most like them. My favorite: "Unlike me, the seasons serve a purpose." If that sort of thing makes you laugh, this book is for you... you cynic you!
