Theres a warm & fuzzy little book entitled 14 000 Things to Be Happy About" which has sold over a million copies. Its basically a long list of things to brighten your day like snuggly kittens & flaky pie crust. Thats great but what about a satirical companion volume for the not-so-optimistic set? Here it is. "11 002 Things to Be Miserable About" is a list of all the reasons not to wake up in the morning. Ironically enough when you put all of them under one cover its actually very funny. This decidedly absurd stream of consciousness is perfect for sardonic & disaffected youth for people seeking gifts for Traumatic Event Birthdays (like 21 25 30 40 & well anything after 40) & for anyone else with an offbeat sense of humour. Enjoy." ...
