Better than CliffsNotes, funnier than Monarch Notes, and shorter than the originals—comes a hilarious spoof of the blockbuster hits you love, not to mention many books you've come to despise. From the authors of the bestselling Newt Gingrich's Bedtime Stories for Orphans is a parody that lampoons all the popular books you'd ever want to read—or not!

Included are:

"The Fridges of Marin County": A hip California housewife finds brief happiness in the arms of an Iowa refrigerator.

"Embarrassed by the Light": A guide for people who are self-conscious about near-death experiences.

"A Year in Pompeii": Fond pre-Vesuvius anecdotes and recollections.

"Iron Tom": Help your neutered cat regain his masculinity.

"The 7 Habits of Highly Defective People": Annoying strategies for getting what you want.

"Listening to Pringles": A psychologist/grocer chronicles his experience in treating depressive patients with prescription junk food.

And more!
