    I've been a big fan of The Oatmeal ever since I read my first comic on his website. He uses humour and illustrations to get his point across, and I always end up learning something by reading his work. I read this book while in the book store and I was laughing and loud throughout it. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who loves to laugh!
