The Funny Thing Is...
Ellen DeGeneres published her first book of comic essays, the #1 bestselling <I>My Point...and I Do Have One,</I> way back in 1996. Not one to rest on her laurels, the witty star of stage and screen has since dedicated her life to writing a hilarious new book. That book is this audiobook. <BR> After years of painstaking, round-the-clock research, surviving on a mere twenty minutes of sleep a night, and collaborating with lexicographers, plumbers, and mathematicians, DeGeneres has crafted a work that is both easy on the ears and very funny. Along with her trademark ramblings, <I>The Funny Thing Is...</I>contains hundreds of succinct insights into her psyche, and offers innovative features including: <BR> • More than 50,000 simple, short words arranged in sentences that form paragraphs.<BR> • Thousands of observations on everyday life -- from terrible fashion trends to how to handle seating arrangements for a Sunday brunch with Paula Abdul, Diane Sawyer, and Eminem.<BR> • All twenty-six letters of the alphabet read aloud. <BR> Sure to make you laugh, <I>The Funny Thing Is...</I>is Ellen in top form.
