That's Funny...

Someone recently suggested that the world - and the Westport Library collection- could use more humor.
To read about some of our recent humor books, go to Marta's Reading Insight. In the Dewey Decimal scheme of life, you can find humor books shelved in the 800s. Mr. Dewey decided that Wit & Humor would have the numbers 817-818. Here at the Westport LIbrary, that means a visit to the 3rd floor.(While you are there, take a look at our art, poetry & drama books, too.) Interested in more about Melvil Dewey?

How about Janet Evanovich for humor? Her series of "One for the Money" through "Twelve Sharp" is a modern mystery that is pithy, a bit colorful and has an interesting set of characters. Anyone out there a fan?

To add a touch of feminine humor to the mix, I recommend Nora Ephron's new title "I Feel Bad About My Neck and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman."
Her essay on why she hates purses had me in stitches.
