I got more chuckles and laughs out of this one than any other book I've read this year.

Probably one of the least cheery quote books I have ever read. Jokes about telling jokes, comedians, humor, clowns and jesters. I guess if that cheers you up, this may be the book for you.

Enjoyable but most of the quotes weren't really that cheery. I did use some as my status on MFP to cheer up my friends. For that the read was well worth it.
