"People should still read Parker because she is really funny. When you read the book reviews she wrote 60 years ago, you still laugh out loud, even if you don’t know the book"

"This one is a memoir consisting of essays. Very real, dark at times, but the wit and candor snagged me from the start. Laugh-out-loud funny but also very realistic and honest."

"I like Bob Dylan when he’s funny. He’s got a great sense of humor and this song in particular is one of my favorites. Helps to laugh, maybe this will make you smile."

"Sturges takes a whole assortment of disagreeable elements—cliché rich people, cliché cardsharps, snakes, and slapstick—and makes one of the greatest romantic and funny comedies. The cast one must adore—never better."

"Nancy Mitford is one of my favorite writers. This is the first of her books that was successful. It’s delightful, it’s funny, it’s charming, and really witty! I read it again and again."
