Summary: great for that quirky person on your list
Review: A great Christmas gift for that quirky person in your life. This book gives you a "mission" for each day of the year. Some are thoughtful, some are fun, some are just downright "wrong!" A definite kick to someone's humdrum life.

Summary: Having Almost Childlike Fun With Life
Review: Beware; if you get this book and participate a bit, your boss may come to hate you. Your co-workers may start to think you're getting weird.
But, as it were, I was getting activated in the Army and was going to change jobs (forever) anyways, so...
So, I left a funny anonymous note on my bosses car which made everyone but him laugh (too bad for him-he has no sense of humor!) If he would have just listened to me when he left that day-I told him, "I left you a joke of a note on your windshield, sir." But, I proved that he doesn't listen!
So, I also super-glued a quarter to the sidewalk and watched people try to pick it up. I want to live and laugh and experience life. Life is too short. If you want to go to work every day and sit in your cubicle isolated from the rest of the world and enjoying nothing with no one, don't get this book and open yourself up to enjoy life with others.
The book is crass and sophomoric at points, but come on-don't take things too seriously. The authors have come up with loads of neat little experiments and tricks and pranks and stuff. There are many even I didn't get into, like acting gay for a day (I'm a little more careful with peoples hearts than that and wouldn't want to tease and break their hearts!), but I didn't take that, or anything else in this book too seriously, anyway.
Enjoy!

Summary: This book is a hoot!
Review: I couldn't stop myself from chuckling - even laughing out loud - at times when I read this book. I chose it for our guest bathroom to give people some light reading while otherwise occupied. It's a funny, lighthearted book that has a very skewed way of looking at things. The daily activities vary greatly: some funny, some whimsical, some with that Huh? factor.
The book is wonderfully laid out with a variation of design that makes for delicious eye candy and draws the eye in throughout the book. It's a great deal of fun and would be perfect as a silly gift for a birthday, secret santa or something to brighten one's day. **One word of warning for those with younger children - there is some adult humor of a sexual nature so don't put this in a place where young eyes can see this (if your house indeed has younger children). It's not too explicit but enough to instigate a "what does that mean" type of conversation.

Summary: Guaranteed to Inspire Hysteria
Review: I have devoted much time to the exercises in this book and so far my life has not changed (drats!) but I have accomplished making a complete fool out of myself (which, to be honest, is no real change). So far I watched a movie starting with an "F" (Fern Gully), imagined everyone naked (which I do not recommend because it eventually becomes rather icky), ignored a day (more difficult then it sounds), glued a spatula to my arm (strangely no one noticed), managed to lure a fly into the box but missed, tried growing another toe (no luck, yet), went on a one minute hunger strike (more difficult then it sounds), applied for a knighthood (no response, yet), imagined myself as that old man of day 362 and realized that no I am not fulfilled plus I forgot to buy a copy of that weeks TV Guide, took the psychopath test (nope, not telling the results), discovered I am not symmetrical, attempted to invent a new color but only ended up with a mucky sort of beige, spent an entire day ticking off each minute (boring yet profound), and a few other things I cannot or will not mention. Oh! I even combined two days worth of activities by memorizing Aubrey's face and dressing like a tourist. I searched the city for her, while stopping at tourist attractions which made me recognize the need to move to someplace more exciting, but never found her. I really want to know that secret she is supposedly harboring. I feel it necessary to warn you that I truly believe the whole "Aubrey" thing may be a trick. Oh! A really eerie thing is that an actual photo of me is in this book. Yes, really! They must have "borrowed" it from a friend's website, that is the only way they could have gotten a hold of it. I tell you, it was quite startling to see myself on one of the pages - I didn't know whether to be flattered or not. Anyway, it gave me a great opportunity to take advantage of the suggestion for day 256 - tearing up all photos that make you look ugly - and ripped out the page for day 130. I request you do the same and forget you ever saw that picture, please. I look much better in person - I Swear!!! All in all, I suppose I must admit I've rather enjoyed most of the stuff I've tried. I am starting to feel a bit hysterical so I guess that is a sign it's working. But is that a "good" sign? hmmm....

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: I love this book. I've flipped through it a lot reading pages at random and I really like, I'm going to purchase it for a few people at Christmas and I think they will love as much ad I do. It is great for people who need a little laughter, or who like The Far Side comics ;) It has some really good self-help type things and then things that just make you have to look at yourself and think, I'm too serious! Great book to give to anyone that has a sense of humor!

Summary: 365 Days of comeday - Guaranteed
Review: I must say, the interior of this book is certainly what grabbed my attention at first. Lots and LOTS of great graphics (some very sexually charged) and a light read, not a lot of wordy pages! A great book for the "non-reader". Every page I have read int his book provides me with a great glimpse in how to live life to the fullest, and be carefree and light hearted, while still trying to make life a little better. The book is, as it promises, HYSTERICAL! Some of the activites are simpy hilarious, and will make you laugh at loud. If you want a change from the regular self help fare, this is the book for you. A sense of humor is a prerequisite :)

Summary: Wacky guide for daily living
Review: Move over, self-help guides! This humorous parody goes where no other book of its kind has gone before to lift you from your humdrum life. Each illustrated and eye-catching page gives a wacky daily suggestion, including such gems as inventing a new way of peeling potatoes, returning all your junk mail, using your left hand all day, and sticking a message on fruit. But amongst the silliness is some advice that makes sense, such as a weekend with no TV, expanding your vocabulary, or picking up litter in the street. If you follow the suggestions in this book, your life will surely change, although whether for the better or worse is up for debate. Read it and laugh!
