Hi....I received an Advance Reading Copy from a friend of mine, I devoured this absolutely hilarious book and then promptly sent it back to her. The brief part about why Germans don't laugh when they're inside grocery stores (they actually rarely laugh anywhere) is terrific but much too short. Last year I saw a 60 Minutes segment about all of these classes in Germany actually teaching Germans to laugh....can you even believe that??? But these classes are jam packed!!!
Eating the Dinosaur by Chuck Klosterman is a must read for everyone who needs/wants a good laugh while reading a book...THIS one will do it for you!!!

Sure hope I win a copy of this gem as I'd love for my family and friends to enjoy it...once they've read, they will want to purchase a copy for their own library, I'm sure positive!!!
