Homer Simpson's Little Book of Laziness

Vault of Simpsonology

by Matt Groening

Few men have reached the very pinnacle of apathy quite like Homer Simpson. His epic inertia is an example to us all. Now, for the first time, Homer reveals the secrets behind his extraordinary ability to get absolutely nothing done. From tips on how to avoid working at work to Homer’s suitably slapdash design for his “Lazy House of the Future,” this ode to the joys of sloth shows a true American idle at his lazy best. Also covering Homer’s lackadaisical take on classic art, his indispensable tips on lethargic eating, housework avoidance, and many more sluggish subjects, Homer Simpson’s Little Book of Laziness is a must-read for ne’er-do-wells everywhere. Packed with inserts and special features, such as an eight-page pullout Sloth Man comic and a foldout “Anatomy of a Layabout” feature focusing on fellow lazybones Barney Gumble, Homer Simpson’s Little Book of Laziness is absolutely bursting with inactivity. The premier installment of the Vault of Simpsonology collection, look out for more great titles in the series coming soon.

I was too lazy to read. Too much text.

This is up to the level of early seasons of The Simpsons, as far as humor. I laughed so hard!

Un livre très sympa écrit par Homer Simpson lui-même. Qui nous donne tous ces petits trucs pour paresser.

J'ai aimé les post-it glissé dans le livre ainsi que tous les petits bonus : listes , peintures de Marge.... Chaque page nous réserve des surprises ;)

Un livre à avoir absolument si l'on est fan (comme moi) de la série. Qui plaira aux grands comme aux petits.

This book is extremely fun to look at and the pictures are probably the best part of the book. However, the writing is so repetitive and it took me ages to finish it. (or maybe, Homer's laziness rubbed off on me and I can't tolerate reading a book when there are pictures present?)

This book has it right. It IS the book of laziness. I should know! Every time I tried to read it, I kept falling asleep! anyway, I thought the book was pretty funny and I loved all the little sticky notes and pop out pieces, I thought that was a very nice and comedic touch to this book.
