I Found This Funny was a refreshingly different book for me to read. I don't usually read short stories (except for the hilarious works by David Sedaris) but this book, edited by Judd Apatow, appealed to me. I usually only get pockets of time to read, so I liked the idea of being able to pick a page and read through a story in a small amount of time. The pieces surprised me. Some funny, some sad, and others just plain disturbing. A good mix that even introduced me to some new authors I'd like to read.
