American Humorists
By: Thorp, Willard
Published by: University of Minnesota Press
AMERICANS, in the early days, imported much of their humor and made it over. Addison and Steele were influential; Dickens had his American imitators. Baron Munchausen's adventures were particularly popular in this country. Many of his tales disappeared into American folklore and rose again as transformed American tall tales.

Humour in Anglo-Saxon Literature
By: Wilcox, Jonathan (ed.)
Published by: Boydell & Brewer
Although the question of humour in the surviving corpus of Old English literature has rarely been discussed, the potential for analyzing this literature in terms of its humor is in fact considerable. In the essays especially commissioned for this volume, the first book-length treatment of Anglo-Saxon humor, eight of the foremost scholars in the field use different approaches to explore humor in the surviving literature of Anglo-Saxon England, in such works as Beowulf and The Battle of Maldon, the riddles of the Exeter book, and Old English saints' lives.

Ophelia Joined the Group Maidens Who Don't Float
By: Schmelling, Sarah
Published by: Plume
In the bestselling tradition of Stuff White People Like and I Can Has Cheezburger? , the next online humor sensation makes the leap to book form. When humorist Sarah Schmelling transformed Hamlet into a Facebook news feed, it launched the next big humor trend—Facebook lit. This hilarious book is the first to bring more than fifty authors and stories from classic literature back to life and online. Schmelling uses the conventions of social networking—profile pages, status updates, news feeds, and applications—to retell everything from The Odyssey to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to Lolita . Every day 150 million active users of Facebook log on to reconnect with old classmates, add pictures, share quizzes, and post news stories, notes, and videos. In Schmelling’s network, Satan and Beelzebub connect using the fiend finder, Don Quixote vows vengeance against Superpoke, Jane Eyre listens to Jay-Z’s “Hard-Knock Life” on repeat, Ernest Hemingway completes the “Are you a real man?” quiz, and Oedipus works on his family tree. A loving spoof of the most-trafficked social networking website in the world and a playful game of literary who’s who, Ophelia Joined the Group Maidens Who Don’t Float will have book lovers and Facebook addicts alike twittering with joy.

The Pocket Essential Robert Crumb
By: Holm, D.K.
Published by: Pocket Essentials
But Crumb isn't just a great cartoonist. He is a great writer as well. His sardonic view of the world is literary and sophisticated, and in his introductions to books and anthologies, as well as in his letters and other writings, Crumb is revealed as a writer with a style as distinctive as his cartoons and with a comic timing just as finely honed. To answer the question, the people who read Crumb include anyone who values biting satire, good writing, and great art.
