Oh God, this book is freaking hilarious... and dead on too.

I got it for my brother for X-mas (thank God he doesn't post here ;)) and I couldn't stop putting it down. I finally had to wrap it up in an act of self-control.

When he opens his present, he's gonna have a tough time yanking it out of my hands. :p

I wanna read it.

I cant afford it :(
I'll send you my copy after I have read it. I will probably read it cover to cover in a day.

I got it for my birthday, courtesy of my brother. Awesome book.

Now if you'll all excuse me, I have a date with a fine slice of brown sugar.

No, "America: The Book" is a brilliant satire of a traditional text book. Nothing to do with aidskids (your broken English leaves me confused as to what this is about).

"If con is the opposite of pro, then isn't congress the opposite of progress? OR DID WE JUST BLOW YOUR FUCKING MIND!"


good stuff.


also, i think it would be fitting to point out that the beastie boys make an appearance in the book as well.......page 90, top right corner.... (y)

My dad bought it for me the day it came out. I thought it was a textbook for a second. Then I realized that was the joke.

But that's okay, double your pleasure. ;)

I find the best way to read it is cover to cover. I tried reading bits and pieces and it wasn't as funny as just reading it straight through. I bought mine for half price, woot, but then gave it to my bro for Christmas cause I couldn't think of anything else.
