An Excerpt from The Areas of My Expertise
"Magnificent...An almanac of the absurd and an exercise in pointless humor (our favorite kind)." - Entertainment Weekly
|
Hot on the heels of the #1 bestsellers The Onion's Our Dumb Century and Jon Stewart's America comes The Areas of My Expertise, the brilliant and uproarious #15 bestseller (i.e., a runaway phenomenon in its own right-no, seriously) - a lavish compendium of handy reference tables, fascinating trivia, and sage wisdom - all of it completely unresearched, completely undocumented and (presumably) completely untrue, fabricated by the illuminating, prodigious imagination of John Hodgman, certifiable genius.
"Wonderfully absurd." - New York TimesWatch a QuickTime trailer for this book. "Hilarious...Nabokov's Pale Fire as directed by Wes Anderson." - Time Out New York "If Borges and Ben Franklin got drunk and decided to write a book together, the result might have been something a lot like this freaky 'almanac'." - Tom Perrotta "Even if you buy this book for the 700 hobo names alone, you will have gotten more than your money's worth." - Dave Eggers "A book of absurd tall tales, tables and charts spun from the warped brain of John Hodgman...Impressively eclectic." - Los Angeles Times |
