This book just wins. Everything. You can read it in about 20 minutes, but I swear it will haunt you forever. Just like that thing you did at camp.

My favorite part of this sketchbook journal is that every day (Kochlaka does one entry a day) gets the same amount of space. The day that he ate too much bacon and felt sweaty gets the same amount of page real estate as the day his son was born. It's all weirdly important and equally amazing from a distance.

Now you can finally cook that pigeon that's been in your freezer for so long! Also: snail porridge. That's all I'm going to say.

This book is sort of like when your neighbor (who you don't know that well) asks you to pet sit for a week and you get to sort of (lightly) go through their things and get to know them (kind of) in a detached, partially imagined way. Anyway, it's an entire relationship (from start to dwindling finish) told through an auction catalog. Clever, strange, and beautiful.

My absolute favorite book. If Goldilocks broke into the bear's house and they were having Vonnegut books for dinner, I think she would choose this one. Vonnegut at his best.

I don't even know where to begin with this book.  The self portrait made entirely out of beans?  The incredibly...thorough...illustrated guide for properly putting on panty hose?  Or maybe the entire "Entertaining Children" section with such innovative ideas as "Pretend Spousal Abuse" (use red tictacs for pretend bloody teeth).  I don't normally care too much for the domestic arts, but Amy Sedaris, in her infinite and insane wisdom, has taken the most asinine and absurd aspects of entertaining and completely run with them.
