It's difficult to say what "The Iron Tonic" is about, although it
is "known the skating pond conceals a family of enormous eels," and
that "the light is fading from the day. The rest is darkness and
dismay." Finally, though, "The Iron Tonic" could be seen as Edward
Gorey's version of a winter afternoon in one of the great Russian
novels of the nineteenth century.

EGGHEAD: Or, You Can't Survive on Ideas Alone
Bo Burnham was a precocious teenager living in his parents' attic
when he started posting material on YouTube. 100 million people
viewed those videos, turning Bo into an online sensation with a
huge and dedicated following. Bo taped his first of two Comedy
Central specials four days after his 18th birthday, making him the
youngest to do so in the channel's history. Now Bo is a rising star
in the comedy world, revered for his utterly original and
intelligent voice. And, he can "SIIIIIIIIING "
In EGGHEAD, Bo brings his brand of brainy, emotional comedy to the

comedian.
The laugh-out-loud true story of a harrowing and hilarious two-year
odyssey in the distant South Pacific island nation of
Kiribati--possibly The Worst Place on Earth.
At the age of twenty-six, Maarten Troost--who had been pushing the
snooze button on the alarm clock of life by racking up useless
graduate degrees and muddling through a series of temp
jobs--decided to pack up his flip-flops and move to Tarawa, a
remote South Pacific island in the Republic of Kiribati. He was
restless and lacked direction, and the idea of dropping everything
and moving to the ends of the earth was irresistibly romantic. He
should have known better.
"The Sex Lives of Cannibals tells the hilarious story of what
happens when Troost discovers that Tarawa is not the island
paradise he dreamed of. Falling into one amusing misadventure after
another, Troost struggles through relentless, stifling heat, a
variety of deadly bacteria, polluted seas, toxic fish--all in a
country where the only music to be heard for miles around is "La
Macarena." He and his stalwart girlfriend Sylvia spend the next two
years battling incompetent government officials, alarmingly large
critters, erratic electricity, and a paucity of food options
(including the Great Beer Crisis); and contending with a bizarre
cast of local characters, including "Half-Dead Fred" and the
self-proclaimed Poet Laureate of Tarawa (a British drunkard who's
never written a poem in his life).
With "The Sex Lives of Cannibals, Maarten Troost has delivered one
of the most original, rip-roaringly funny travelogues in years--one
that will leave you thankful for staples of American civilization
such as coffee, regular showers, and tabloid news, andthat will
provide the ultimate vicarious adventure.
If you've ever heard a Jewish, Blond, Italian, Irish, Blond,
Libyan, Catholic, Mexican, Polish, Australian, Norwegian, or an
Essex Girl, Newfie, Mother-in-Law, or joke aimed at a minority,
this book of Mike Young jokes is for you. While this book, appears
to be aimed at a specific group, it's not. It's designed to show
how jokes are funny regardless of the target-even if it's you. In
this not-so-original book, The Best Ever Book of Mike Young Jokes;
Lots and Lots of Jokes Specially Repurposed for You-Know-Who, Mark
Young takes a whole lot of tired, worn out jokes and makes them
funny again. This book of Mike Young jokes is so unoriginal, it's
actually original. And, if you don't burst out laughing (or at
least get a smile on your face), from at least one accountant joke
in this book, there's something wrong with you. For example: Why
does Mike Young wear slip-on shoes? You need an IQ of at least 4 to
tie a shoelace. *** An Mike Young and Diane Young were sitting
around the breakfast table one lazy Sunday morning. Mike Young
turned to Diane Young and said: When I die, I want you to sell all
my stuff. Why would you want me to do that?, asked Diane Young. I
figure that you'll eventually remarry, and I don't want some
asshole using my stuff, replied Mike Young. Diane Young said: What
makes you think I'd marry another asshole? *** Why did Mike Young
two jackets when he painted his house? The instructions on the can
said: Put on two coats. *** Why does Mike Young laugh three times
when he hears a joke? Once when it is told to him, once when it is
explained to him, and once when he understands it.
