As John Hodgman says in this book's introduction, 'We all know that books are funny. First, they are made of paste and cloth, which is funny, as is the fact that people still buy and read them.'

With that in mind, the McSweeney's Joke Book of Book Jokes collects the best book-related humor from the humor-laden archives of McSweeney's Internet Tendency. Open it and be regaled by such sketches, lists, letters, and spoofs as:

  • Postcards from James Joyce to his Brother Stan
  • Winnie-the-Pooh is My Coworker
  • Ikea Product or Lord of the Rings Character?
  • Popular Children's Fairy Tales Reimagined Using Members of My Family
  • The Very Unauthorized Biography of Steven Seagal
  • Chuck Norris Erotica
  • John Updike, Television Writer
  • Jane Eyre Runs for President
  • Cormac McCarthy Writes to the Editor of the Santa Fe New Mexican
  • Holden Caulfield Gives the Commencement Speech to a High School
  • Letters from Odysseus's College Roommate
  • And many dozens more.
