John Hodgman's books
« on: November 05, 2009, 05:11:56 PM »
Who's read 'em? What did you think?

If you can judge these books by their covers, I'm in.

Why isn't Tom doing this too? If I weren't a nobody, if I were recognized by people for something noteworthy, as these guys are, I'd totally be writing books.

They're funny.  I've read them.  I was introduced to J-Hod through the McSweeney's empire, and I'm glad to see he's left them in the dust.  The Little Grey Book lectures were awesome, as well.

They're very funny, though I would also recommend checking out the audiobooks.

They are good. And it is hard to read them without hearing his voice and delivery in your head. And that makes it even better.

I like the Areas Of The Expertise, for the 700 Hobo Names alone.

Just began the new audiobook. Hooray for a new theme song from Coulton!
