Kate’s 2¢: One more thing: stories and other stories” by B. J. Novak

“One more thing: stories and other stories” by B. J. Novak

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   I think it is very difficult to write a book of humor. What makes us laugh or tickles our funny bone is so very individual. Thus, I found some of these stories amusing; others were perhaps, over my head; and some were just down right a waste of paper/my time.

   After you read this book, let me know what struck your funny bone.
