Charlie Brown is the world famous blockhead. He is the average, mediocre, unpopular, self-doubting innocent character that everyone identifies with, making him a sort of everyman. Although Charlie Brown is friendly and polite, he is a worrier who frets over his unrequited loves.

Back after a four-year hiatus, Scott Adams presents an outrageous look at work, home, and everyday life in his Dilbert's, "The Way of the Weasel". Building on Dilbert's theory that "All people are idiots", Adams now says, "All people are idiots. And they are also weasels". Just ask anyone who worked at Enron. In this book, Adams takes a look into the Weasel Zone, the giant gray area between good moral behaviour and outright felonious activities. In the Weasel Zone, where most people reside, everything is misleading, but not exactly a lie. Building on his comic strip, Adams looks into work, home, and everyday life and exposes the way of the weasel for everyone to see.

In 26 chapters, Scott Adams provides an inside view of bosses, meetings, management fads and other workplace afflictions, through his cartoon character, Dilbert. The topics include swearing your way to success, humiliation as a management tool, and selling bad products to stupid people.

The indispensable guide to office life from the man who feels our pain like no other. A new collection of cartoons from the master of office angst. Dilbert has become the primary source of comic relief for anyone who has ever set foot in an office, heard the words 'empowerment' and 'downsizing', or held a day-to-day job in the business world. Dilbert's appeal not only lies not only in the hearty laughs, but in its ability to tap into subjects and situations with which workers can easily identify. You will never look at your cubicle in the same way again.

Michael Moore has established himself as someone who just won't shut up, go away, or otherwise do what political and corporate fat cats would like him to do. He lifts the veil on the people who set themselves up as role models and exposes their vulnerable underbellies

The full-colour strips in this successful series are arranged under themes and feature GARFIELD in some of his famous roles. Garfield's Guide to Cat Napping Garfield has raised sleeping to the level of an art-form.

This hand-picked collection of strips focuses on Garfield's undying passion for The Land of Nod. But be warned... don't read this at bedtime. You may laugh so much, you won't be able to sleep

Everyone Needs To Read This Book, 8 November, 2001 Reviewer: A reader from Houston I laughed so hard when I read this book. He must live in Houston! The sections in regards to driving were perfect. I even laughed when I saw myself in the pages. Thanks for the smile.

Reviewer: Rob Linham (rjl@pmail.net) from Oxford I have *never* laughed so much at one book. The "philosophy" of Wrong Shui is at the same time both piercingly accurate and side-splittingly funny. If you only ever buy one book in your entire life, seperate your small change from your pocket fluff and share the thoughts of Master Eu.

Stupid White Men, Michael Moore's screed against "Thief-in-Chief" George Bush's power elite, hit No. 1 at Amazon.com within days of publication. Why? It's as fulminating and crammed with infuriating facts as any right-wing bestseller, as irreverent as The Onion, and as noisily entertaining as a wrestling smackdown. Moore offers a more interesting critique of the 2000 election than Ralph Nader's Crashing the Party (he argued with Nader, his old boss, who sacked him), and he's serious when he advocates ousting Bush. But Moore's rage is outrageous, couched in shameless gags and madcap comedy: "Old white men wielding martinis and wearing dickies have occupied our nation's capital.... Launch the SCUD missiles! Bring us the head of Antonin Scalia!... We are no longer [able] to hold free and fair elections.

After reading a spellbinding 2000+ pages fantasy trilogy I needed something light and funny. The Unadulterated Cat did the trick perfectly. This book is about what a Real cats should be, and also what they shouldn't be. About what they do, and eat, what to call them, etc. No doubt you will enjoy this book, even if you don't have a cat (I don't). It's got good ole witty Pratchett style, with the habitual footnotes, and Gray Jolliffe's cartoons are terrific. It's read in no time and and will have you bursting out laughing incontrollably. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. -crooty from Lausanne, Switzerland

Though it's being marketed as a "humorous" title--after all, it's unlikely you'll be called upon to land a plane, jump from a motorcycle to a moving car or win a sword fight--the information contained in The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook is all quite sound. Authors Joshua Piven and David Borgenicht consulted numerous experts in their fields (they're cited at the end of the book) to discover how to survive various and sundry awful events. Parachute doesn't open? Your best bet for survival is to hook your arms through the straps of a fellow jumper's chute--and even then you're likely to dislocate both shoulders and break both legs. Car sinking in water? Open the window immediately to equalise pressure, then open the car door and swim to the surface. Buried in an avalanche? Spit on the snow--it will tell you which direction is really up. Then dig as fast as you can. Each survival skill is explained in simple steps with helpful illustrations. Most stress the need to be prepared--both mentally and physically. For example, to escape from quicksand, you will need to lay a pole on the surface of the quicksand, flop on your back atop the pole and pull your legs out one by one. No pole? No luck. "When walking in quicksand country, carry a stout pole--it will help you get out should you need to."
