4.0 out of 5 stars A Laugh on Every Page, May 2, 2001

By	Steven Fantina (Phillipsburg, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a nervous flyer, I thought a joke book might be a calming distraction for the plane ride. While it was far from a panacea, it probably assuaged my trepidation by keeping me occupied. And even with my feet planted firmly on terra firma, the book is good for several guffaws.

For decades "Reader's Digest" has been nearly as beloved for its humorous anecdotes as its engaging stories. This compilation of tidbits from its long-running feature provides a great deal of wholesome laughter. As with the magazines other amusing columns, the vignettes provide abundant laughs without resorting to raffishness or ribaldry. Could that at least part of the reason why the magazine has maintained its longstanding popularity?

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great, January 7, 2006

By	Barry Rucker (Richland, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book contains several classic jokes, and some funny jokes I never heard before. It also contains some clunkers. I suspect that reading jokes is just not as laugh-packed as watching a top comic deliver the same jokes in person.
