I had to put it down occasionally, because I just needed a break from the laughter. Some books are amusing, they have a light and hilarious tone, that puts you into an easygoing comedic mood. To me, Scoop is in the top 5 funniest books I have ever read in my life.
What’s funny to me may be just “silly” to someone else. It’s hard to describe why something is funny – and humor, of course, is a subjective thing. It is so funny that I found myself on the bus one night, reading it, and my face was literally frozen in a comedy mask of laughter for the entire ride, tears streaming down my face. To say this is a funny book is to completely under-state the situation. Hitchens’ review made me laugh out loud, so I immediately went out and bought a copy and read the book last year.
I read this book because of Christopher Hitchens’ review of it, I think in The Atlantic.
