About this title

Review:

Yes, this is exactly what it sound like: A collection, arranged by topic, of the famous humor column that began in Reader's Digest back in 1943. Admittedly a guilty pleasure, the charm of these anecdotes is that they're actually true, always about some facet of American life, and sometimes genuinely funny. The magazine receives 8,000 submissions a month from readers for this column, and has collected the best of the published items here. Even the ones that fall a little short will usually make you smile.

From AudioFile:

Reader's Digest combines several of their readers' contributions into this collection of humorous vignettes. Two real-life celebrity couples relay whimsical anecdotes about America's internal cultures. Since we think of ourselves as a unified country, the overriding humor in these pieces is the misunderstandings that can occur even across one state line! Reader's Digest fans will thrill at this recording. R.A.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
