Sinopsis

Winner of the "Indie Book of the Day" award, this short collection of humorous essays explores such quirky topics as annoying pet people ("I'm Not Talking About You, Of Course"), analyzing your inner child ("Irrational Fears") and how to live like the Amish in the aftermath of a hurricane ("A Jolt of Electricity").
 
Included are also stories of just how much damage can be caused by a sneeze ("It All Started with a Loud Sneeze"), why it is so complicated to buy a tube of toothpaste ("Ask Me No Questions"), how not to prepare dinner ("Martha, I Let You Down"), making new friends ("Friends in Low Places"), how a parent's obsessive hobbies can become an inescapable vortex ("Crazy Hobbies"), and why spending the night in a sleep clinic is like being abducted by probing aliens ("Nightmare at the Sleep Clinic").
 
If you don't see yourself in one of these entertaining essays, then I'm not talking about you, of course...

    The Journey to Ineffectiveness: A Beginner’s Guide” by Dr JC, presents the novel argument that Ineffectiveness is a good thing and we should embrace it. It lays out a plan whereby we can increase our ineffectiveness. The book introduces our other IQ (Ineffectiveness Quotient), which is measured by our behavior, rather than our mental ability. It introduces a number of areas that present us opportunities to increase our IQ in a humorous, and some might say an outrageous, style. Let’s take a look at a few examples. Confess! You’ve bought and/or been given a self-help book. You probably read part of, but 90% of the people who buy them read the entire book. Furthermore, .0001% take their advice, but don’t despair. The time and money you spent on self-help increase your ineffectiveness. While this isn’t a self-help book, it will increase your ineffectiveness and determine you Ineffectiveness Quotient. Dr JC will take you on a hilarious journey through many areas of your life. In addition to self-help, you’ll be taking a look at some so-called mental helpers, the search for domestic tranquility, the dumbness that surrounds us, and many more. The journey will take you from your favorite ‘big box’ store to dealing with artificial intelligence and everything in between. Get ready and buckle your seatbelt. We’re going for a ride with Dr JC that’s a laugh a minute. He says to be sure and bring snacks and plenty of tequila for our stops along the way. There’s plenty of room so All Aboard!

    One of the first noted American authors to be highly acclaimed in Europe during his life time, Washington Irving (April 3, 1783 – November 28, 1859) wrote numerous short stories, biographies, histories, and tales of his travels. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," first published in 1820, is variously regarded as a Gothic tale and a modern folk story about the early history of the United States of America.  The story is most famous for the strange encounter between a superstitious schoolmaster named Ichabod Crane and the ghost of the Headless Horseman, said to be a Hessian soldier who lost his head to a cannon ball during the Revolutionary War. He is believed to be always in search of his head.  Many of Irving's works have inspired adaptations to the stage and film. It was Irving who affixed the nickname "Gotham" — an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "Goat's Town" — to New York City.  The spirited narration is by Oscar nominated an Emmy Award Winning Special Makeup Effects Artist, Edward E. French.

    Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal offers a scathing commentary on 18th-century Ireland's poverty. The narrator, with chilling seriousness, proposes a solution to the burden of poor children: selling them as food to the wealthy. This outrageous idea, delivered in a satirical tone, mocks the indifference of England towards Ireland's struggles.
