Remarkable narrative. I did not know that King started out as a somewhat feckless, typical student who matured into a great man. He did not turn down a vocation entailing a world a suffering and eventually, death. His humility and humanity are really brought out in this book.

The last of the Rosenbloom joke books I owned as a child, a certainly the best of them.

This one is all riddles and jokes involving monsters, mummies, vampires, and ghosts. Definitely some good zingers in here that will hopefully delight some kid who visits my Little Free Library.

Yet another Rosenbloom book of humor, this time focusing on put-downs and insults.

Some lines are better than others.

Another Joseph Rosenbloom joke book from my childhood. I wonder how many of these there were, and if I had all of them. I'll have to research that further.

I remember loving these books as a kid, and even now some of the puns are so bad they still make me chuckle. I'll probably be adding this to my Little Free Library for some new kid to find and enjoy.
