  “Humor abounds” in this collection of western-style wit and wisdom by the author of the classicDon’t Squat with Your Spurs On (Midwest Book Review).  It’s easy to win at solitaire, just shoot all the witnesses.  The shallower the stream, the louder the babble.  Don’t worry too much about what other people think about you. If they’re giving you any thought at all, they’re probably wondering what you think about them.   The perfect companion for a pit stop at the little wood shack out back (or anywhere else), The Outhouse Reader is filled with quick quips and wise advice, from “Most things get better. In fact, most things get better by the next morning” to “A true friend, if he can't get you out of jail, will get in there with you.” It’s a treasury of funny, thought-provoking tidbits to keep you laughing till the cows come home!

  The Fisher King - A Novel

  Arthurian legend and cruise ship gossip entwine in this “profoundly touching, comic novel” by the celebrated author of A Dance to the Music of Time (Chicago Tribune). 
   
  Aboard the Alecto, prolific romance author Valentine Beals ruminates on the ship’s most seemingly incongruous couple: a graceful, ethereal, virginal dancer named Barberina Rookwood and her lover, Saul Henchman, a crippled, emasculated war hero and photographer. Fancifully, Beals imagines Henchman to be the reembodiment of one of the most mysterious Arthurian legends, the Fisher King—the maimed and impotent ruler of a barren country of whom Perceval failed to ask the right questions. 
   
  A myth with many permutations—and a blurred borderland between them—the Fisher King legend dovetails the various explanations Powell offers from his competing narrators as to why a talented young dancer would forsake her art to care for a feeble older man. 
   
  Ostensibly a novel about gossip on a cruise ship, The Fisher King is much more: a highly stylized narrative infused with Greek mythology, legend, and satire.

  All Huck wants for Christmas is a revolution... and donuts. Vive la Revolution! 
  The American Revolution began with the Boston Tea Party. If Huck Carp has anything to do about it, the next people’s revolution will begin in the drive-thru of a sleepy donut shop in a working-class neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio.

  The crew at the Drip ‘n’ Donuts shop don’t agree on many things, but they come together, each doing their parts to keep the streak alive. As word gets out through social media, people come from across the city to share in the holiday pay-it-forward phenomenon. 
  Forces are conspiring against them, however. First, a December blizzard is blowing into Columbus. Second, a jealous billionaire is determined to crush the Christmas Donut Revolution, and it will take only one person to ruin it for everybody. 
  EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a satirical, down-right funny novel sure to keep a smile on your face.

  Let There Be Laughter - A...

  From the host of NPR affiliate’s Forum with Michael Krasny, a compendium of Jewish jokes that packs the punches with hilarious riff after riff and also offers a window into Jewish culture. 
  Michael Krasny has been telling Jewish jokes since his bar mitzvah, and it’s been said that he knows more of them than anyone on the planet. He certainly states his case in this wise, enlightening, and hilarious book that not only collects the best of Jewish humor passed down from generation to generation, but explains the cultural expressions and anxieties behind the laughs. 
  ""What’s Jewish Alzheimer’s?"" 
  ""You forget everything but the grudges."" 
  ""You must be so proud. Your daughter is the President of the United States!"" 
  ""Yes. But her brother is a doctor!"" 
  ""Isn’t Jewish humor masochistic?"" 
  ""No. And if I hear that one more time I am going to kill myself."" 
  With his background as a scholar and public-radio host, Krasny delves deeply into the themes, topics, and form of Jewish humor: chauvinism undercut by irony and self-mockery, the fear of losing cultural identity through assimilation, the importance of vocal inflection in joke-telling, and calls to communal memory, including the use of Yiddish. 
  Borrowing from traditional humor and such Jewish comedy legends as Jackie Mason, Mel Brooks, and Joan Rivers, Larry David, Sarah Silverman, Jerry Seinfeld and Amy Schumer, Let There Be Laughter is an absolute pleasure for the chosen and goyim alike.
