I’ve inserted a page of Chris Rock’s “Rock This!” as a prime example of why these books need to be seen. Whoever let Chris Rock publish a 200 page book in 1997 is going to heaven. I also love Bossypants by Tina Fey!

Matthew Goldin is “to put it simply… for better or worse, a compelling North American entertainer and prose stylist.”
His new book “Matthew” is hilarious and a bit of an anomaly. Matthew’s twitter has been my favorite account for years (Which I’ve linked). His new book seems to be poking fun at the humorist memoir concept. It’s incredibly funny thus far.
PI should have him on the editorial.

John Swartzwelder is the funniest writer in the world. I don’t know that I could write about him and do him justice, but he was a longtime Simpsons writer and then started self-publishing books that are so incredibly joke dense it will blow your mind. Here’s a quote from The Time Machine Did It, one of his many books following a strange detective named Frank Burly: “When I first became a detective I had tried solving crimes the way mystery writers do: coming up with the solution to the crime first, then working back to the point where you don't know what the hell is going on. But for some reason every time I tried that I ended up locked in a closet.”

Ruby Sparks, Swiss Army Man, The Batman, Beach Boys bio-pic. He has a great career.
He was everyone’s white boy of the month but he’s my white boy for eternity.
