The 2,548 Best Things Anybody Ever Said

I was looking for a book that had a bunch of random facts or sayings as a gift for my coworker, who really like facts. When I came across this, I was hoping it would be good. And it was! I read a couple of them, and thought they were great! When I last saw my coworker, he was telling me that they were funny and great! He was half way through the book at that time. If you're looking for a book with random sayings, this would be a good one to get! It arrived on time, and in great condition! I would order from here again!

The book is good for casual, coffee-table reading, but it quickly becomes repetitive. A proofreader would have been handy as some quotes are listed multiple times. The collection also generally seems to be biased, as the quotes have little variety, mostly are taken from the same figures, and seem to unanimously affirm or deny a single viewpoint. This is certainly not a feel-good book as a pessimistic tone persists throughout, although this is often the case with humor. Overall, it does not inspire a laugh or cry so much as a chuckle or cringe.

jus wonderful to dip in. The only book better is the All music guide

It's a very nice read when you don't have time to spend on stories or long articles.

I bought one for myself and 2 for friends.

I have four friends that I bought this book for: A cancer victim, who is a great friend, another great friend with a heart condition, and my son who needs to relax and enjoy the world more. LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE!The 4thi was for my Doctor, who has a great sense of humor. I always feel better when I leave a visit with him. He is truly human, not puffed up , self effacing and a person that you know is really interested in you, not your money.

A fan of "quote collection" books, this one is so well put-together, it has become one of my favorites. It may be that I'm simple minded, but every time I pick up this book, an audible laugh will follow. Warning: Don't think you can just pick it up briefly for a quickie. It won't let you.(How can so many people be so clever?! They could have left one or two quips to the rest of us.) Every page is worth every penny.

These short sayings are witty and amusing, but it soon becomes difficult to keep the attention level up. A few pages and I lose interest. But it is fun to go back from time to time and enjoy a sample. A bit like cake with too much icing.Interestingly, this may be an example of content that might be more effective in printed form than under the consecutive page restrictions of Kindle. With a book it is easier to flip pages and move to other sections, so the organization by topic is less restrictive.

Reading! It’s a book.

This is the kind of book that you can open on any page, have a quick skim through the quotes and catch yourself nodding and agreeing to the things said; witty, sexist, sarcastic, cynical, not always politically correct. Fun to read, especially if you're not too easily offended. Gave that book as a present for Christmas - and everyone in the family wanted to read it.
