This is a real gem of a book! I don't think I've laughed this much in years -- I was cackling maniacally for three hours and my cheeks started to hurt. I will definitely check out the author's other works. I'd recommend this especially for English majors, but anybody would find it hilarious.
I* have not read this fully it being a book to dip into.
Personally I have developed a soft spot for the poet who just could not stop adding footnotes.

*In this case I refers to the author of this review.
