I really enjoyed this book. I've rarely read many Humour books and I can be fickle with them (isn't everyone fickle with humour?), but my hopes were up on this one because of its reputation and because I have a soft spot for an academia-world focus. I wasn't disappointed. I was laughing so hard in some spots!

It's funny you should say that. I thought this was probably the most cinematic book I've ever read; it just felt somehow like I was reading a film. It makes me wonder how the actual film of it holds up.
