Letters from a Nut
6 journalers for this copy...
Amazon review: What if you wrote to the Baseball Hall of Fame offering to donate a full set of Mickey Mantle's toenail clippings? Why, they'd be glad to have 'em--even if you are "a Level 4 bed-wetter." Cooperstown is only one of many institutions terrorized in Letters from a Nut, a collection of crazed correspondence by Ted L. Nancy. The name is a pseudonym, perhaps for Jerry Seinfeld, who wrote the introduction. Seinfeld never comes clean, but the yocks sure sound like his material. And the letters have his prints all over them--who else would write the L.A. Lakers posing as a rabid fan who wears pants with a see-through back end, "for medical reasons"? Whoever wrote it, the book's a real lark. Where else can you meet "Pip, the Mighty Squeak," a man who gambles in a giant shrimp costume, or a corn that looks like Shelley Fabares? Only inside the fevered brain of Ted L. Nancy--whether he's Jerry Seinfeld or not.
Now available at the Essenza Coffee House OBCZ!
I am so excited to have an OBCZ only 1/2 mile from my house! I saw all the books released there yesterday, so I had to go take a peek today. I know where I will be spending a lot of time! The Italian Sodas are great! I, of course, picked up this book while I was there and released some others. This book was on my Wish List, so I am pretty excited to have found it.
I didn't quite find this book as funny as the reviews said it was. It may have been, though, that I figured out that I have read this book before. It was an enjoyable, quick read. I will now make it available for trade or release. Hopefully I will make it to the OBCZ soon and will return it to the shelves there.
This book is being sent to Apolonia who accepted it on book relay.
Thanks for sending this Bigbird2002! I will journal it again once I've read it and pass it on.
Where does this guy come up with this stuff? I found it amusing, a quick funny read. I am sending it to my New Book for a New Year Partner. I hope you enjoy it.
January has settled heavily over Wisconsin, and just when I REALLY need something to lighten my mood, this book arrives from Apolonia for the New Book for a New Year Exchange. As per the rules of the exchange, I will get started on it very soon! Thank you so much Ap, I am smiling already!
A quick read that brought me several smiles- the perfect book for the New Book for a New Year exchange! Thanks, Apolonia.
sending along to Dittybopper for the Sept. Inklings exchange
I read this book as soon as I received it. Someone had a very strange hobby LOL! I wonder, in this age of automated phone systems and websites, if companies would still even respond to traditional letters (they hardly respond quickly to email!). Thank you Melinda for the laughs - I needed them!
