Blogging for Books: Just My Typo

Time for another book review? More humor is just the ticket.

Just My Typo
By: Drummond Moir

Book Cover

Who doesn't love a good typo? I am a chronic misspell-er/coma miss-er. I quite enjoyed this collection of typos. My favorite hands down is the misprint in a cookbook's souffle instructions warning to "avoid peeing the oven. It may compromise the flavor." These priceless misprints kept me chuckling for the duration. There is nothing funnier than someone trying to be incredibly serious and failing, in my opinion. I was surprised by the quantity and variety of the typos in the book. Everything from legal documents, cell phone auto corrects gone wrong to kid's homework answers.

I recommend it to anyone looking for a light read and few good laughs. Read it, then lend it to a friend long enough to forget some, then re-read it.
