Book Review of Isaac Asimov's Treasury of Humor

Isaac Asimov's Treasury of Humor
reviewed on + 46 more book reviews


Here is a lifetime harvest of Isaac Asimov's favorite anecdotes, jokes, puns, and scandalous verse - 640 selections in all. Everything is included, from the original shaggy-dog story (in mvercifully truncated form) to famous put-downs from ancient history, from the cerebral whimsies of Talumdic wit to the bawdiness of the barracks. There is bound to be something new for every reader, for Asimov's taste ranges far and wide; moreover, many of the jokes are original and presented here for the first time.
