 However, I think that reading gets a bad rep. Over the years people have gotten so used to reading on the internet, which is so full of stimulation and pornography, that we don't sit down with a good book anymore. So I'm going to tell you a bit about a few of my favorite books. They're all fun to read and you won't feel like a dork with any of them.   While a little repetitive at times, and in a couple instances it seems to read more like an essay than a book, The Zen of Oz is enjoyable and quick. Doing a little each day will have this book done in less than a week. It is beautifully illustrated too. My only complaint would be that it focuses solely on the movie, and not the Oz books that inspired the movie. I'm a huge fan of Oz, so I was amazed to learn that Dorothy actually worse silver slippers originally as opposed to the ruby slippers that Judy Garland wore to show off the very first full-color flick. Give this book a read for a twist on a story we all know very well. You can surely find it in some bargain bins for under five bucks. I first discovered this book when I was twelve or so, and a couple years ago I broke down and bought a copy for myself. Don't sit and read it from cover to cover though. Buy this one and keep it on your coffee table for those moments of boredom, or if you just need a quick laugh.   This one is also good to read while drunk. I picked up a whack of these books at a yard sale for when I have kids, and I gotta admit, they're fun to poke thru again. There's a huge Sudoku craze going on, and yes I'm a part of it, but I'd much rather have a Full House Sudoku book. This book seems to be one of those books you'd get from your school book club. I think I got mine at a thrift shop. All the puzzles were already done. Luckily for me though, they were only done in pencil. Carefully I erased all the answers (especially the ones that spelled "Uncle Jesse" as "Jessie") so I could give this book the love and admiration it deserves. Aside from the puzzles and games, this book contains a selection of photos from the different seasons of the show. Sure, it may be crappy quality black n' white on newsprint, but I'll take any photo of Walter "Duckface" Berman that I can get. Get this book, if only to make me happy.  ONLY KIDDING! No, really. Intended for children as an education tool, Everyone Poops will entertain teenage boys and stoners alike with its illustrations of people and animals pooping. It's a very simple read, and you can shoot thru it in under ten minutes. Unless you're like me, and you take time to really appreciate the art of pooping. As the greatest book of all time, it is missing one thing. There's no part in there to show my cat that if she doesn't cover her poop up with litter it will stink really bad. So thanks for checking out this guide to reading. Maybe you'll be more inclined to sit down and enjoy a good book every now and again. I wrote a novella once called Secrets, and I'm pretty proud of it. It's not nearly as good as Everyone Poops, but really, nothing is.
