You're a Horrible Person, But I Like You

You’re a Horrible Person, But I Like You Edited by Eric Spitznagel

Adult New Nonfiction 814.54 B
Funny, irreverent, and at times frustrating, You’re a Horrible Person, But I Like You is a good choice for those looking to add some humor to their reading this summer. This book is a compilation of advice column questions from the readers of The Believer magazine that are answered not by the editors, but by various actors, comedians, and writers including Zack Galifianakis, Judd Apatow, and Patton Oswalt. The often hilarious responses range from actual answers to rants that are completely unrelated to the proposed question. For example, Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black each provide their own answers to the same set of questions, in which they use the questions as a platform to insult each other. My only complaint was that some of the question submissions were desperate attempts by the readers to display their own, often deficient, comedic ability. Overall, this book is a good bet to keep you entertained and cause you to laugh out loud more than a few times.
