For a long time after my middle school love affair with Garfield's books ended, I didn't bother with "funny" books anymore..not really giving myself permission .. I guess it felt a bit silly...Holy Sh*t I'm glad I got over that nonsense. I might have missed what is quickly becoming one of my fav books of all time!
Have you ever visited the ridiculously wonderful, sublime, and generally rib tickling funny blog, Hyperbole and a Half? If you haven't, please make your way there right away (um..after you finish my blog post of course!)! Allie Brosh is not only a blogger but has authored a cracking book! If you want to laugh - out loud- this is the blog and book for you. My son and I are reading it together (we will let any future therapist judge my parenting..as it should be) and he loves it! The first few chapters of this book inspired us to test our dog's IQ through a series of tests Allie used on her own dog and a good time was had by all!
I read quite a bit and find her voice (and illustrations) completely original.
Finding books that aren't just cookie cutter content isn't always easy but I'm always looking! Know a good book I shouldn't miss? Do share..and I read most any genre. This isn't a paid post and you can look forward to a few book reviews every now and then.
