A Coffee Table Classic
My partner got this book for Christmas and never got a look in! Once I had picked it up I couldn't put it down until I had read it from cover to cover.

You will find quotes on every subject imaginable and they range from droll observations to cleverly witty to downright pee your pants hilarious! Only the totally humourless wouldn't find themselves laughing out loud.

This book makes an excellent gift.

The funniest Thing You Never Said.
I saw this book on this lovely site, read the front cover and thought they'd be ideal for my Dad and my friend Scott's Christmas presents last year. They were huge successes. I think everyone in my house has sat and read huge chunks of it and laughed out loud. And Scott says he didn't manage to start it for a week because his mum found it, read a page and wouldn't put it down!It's a fantastic book and absolutely hillarious.

I love collecting quotations so what better than a whole big book of them?! To top it off with a cherry they're all hillarious. The books is divided into different topics and sometimes further subdivided which should help you find ones appropriate to an occasion if necessary. There are quotes from Presidents to singers, actors and, lo and behold, comedians. A great mix for different tastes.
If you know anyone who tends to sway towards books like this as opposed to novels I'd strongly recommend it as a gift.... and then get one for yourself. :)
