The Best Australian Humorous Writing
Price: AUD 32.99 Author: Andrew O'Keefe & Steve Vizard

A joke that makes one person laugh can leave another completely unmoved. A collection of humorous tales at least provides the possibility of a laugh for everyone. Perhaps the first joke with this book was that some contributors didnâ€™t know the identity of the editors.

Atlas, Schmatlas
Price: AUD 35.00 Author: Craig Robinson

Subtitled A Superior Atlas, it is in fact a supremely silly atlas but highly amusing to those of us who have absolutely no sense of geography and who, it turns out, donâ€™t really need one. Take this entry as an example: â€œAustralia is a pretty big darned island situated a bit up from Antarctica, about a third of the way to Japanâ€. This is a very mild entry, so consider yourself warned; now go forth and discover the world.

When You Are Engulfed In Flames
Price: AUD 32.99 Author: David Sedaris

I read most of this latest offering from American humorist David Sedaris on public transport. On one occasion I sat beside someone with their own copy and we concurred that it wasn't as funny as Sedaris's earlier work, but then we spent the rest of our trip laughing out loud at what we read. Despite high expectations, fans (and newcomers) will find plenty to enjoy.

Earth: A Visitor's Guide

As the introduction states, finding earth isn't that challenging, but once you get here, you won't believe your eyes. Best to think as Picasso did: "everything is a miracle". Of course, he then went on to finish that thought with "it's a miracle that one
