Funny Peculiar: Gershon Legman and the Psychopathology of Humor

Rating:
Summary: Funny but Serious!
Review: This is a really great book, funny but serious as well. The first part is all about Legman, an eccentric collector of dirty jokes. The rest is about laughter and humor, and why people find things funny. It's not really a light hearted book, it might make you think carefully before you laugh, or tell a joke, but that's what's so interesting about it. The author doesn't take anything for granted and looks at everything from a perspective I've never seen before. Recommended for all smart people.
