Essential ASP.NET 2.0
Fritz Onion, Keith Brown

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2006

Great ASP.NET 2.0 Book - Accurate and Concise
I really like Fritz and Keith's writing style, and found this book an excellent ASP.NET 2.0 read. Unlike other books, this doesn't attempt to be a huge reference. Instead it offers a relatively quick and concise read that details how to use some of the most ...
  
  











  



  
The Onion Ad Nauseam: Complete News Archives, Volume 13
Robert Siegel, Carol Kolb, ...

Three Rivers Press, 2002

Memorable Articles and Many Laughs
My friend bought this book last year and we became obsessed. We still quote from it on a daily basis. "You hurt me just now when you hit me with that shovel" and "I bet I wouldn't be laughing so hard if it was me in that fire" top our list, as well as "Your honking ...

The Onion, Scott Dikkers, ...

Three Rivers Press, 1999

The Best of The Onion Books
I've read several of The Onion's books, and this one stands out as the funniest. A few of my favorite headlines: "Kennedy Slain by CIA, Mafia, Castro, LBJ, Teamsters, Freemasons,"; "Stalin Announces Five-Year 'Everybody Dies' Plan"; and "World's Largest Metaphor Hits ...

Our Dumb World: The Onion's Atlas of the Planet Earth, 73rd Edition
The Onion

Little, Brown and Company, 2007

Not for the thin-skinned
This book is hilarious but it's also about as un-PC as it gets. If you're sensitive about that, it isn't for you. ODW is funny from cover to cover, and some of it is laugh-out-loud, in the manner of an insult comic's take on the world. The Onion cleverly and often ...
  
  











  



  
A Shakespeare Glossary
C. T. Onions

Oxford University Press, USA, 1986

Good resource that leaves nothing wanting!
If you are a reader, actor or spectator of Shakespeare you must have this book. It is an indispensable guide to the speech and hidden meanings of Shakespeare's words. I especially stress the hidden meanings aspect of the glossary--- a feature you may not find in a ...
  
  











  



  
The Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology

Oxford University Press, USA, 1966

Oxford is the best - by a whisker.
Other reviewers claim that the Chambers Dictionary of Etymology is a better book than the Oxford Dictionary of Etymology. I must disagree. I was recently in a bookstore that had both in stock, and I was able to compare the two. Overall, I found the Chambers to be ...

Fanfare for the Area Man: The Onion Ad Nauseam Complete News Archives, Vol. 15
Onion Editors

Three Rivers Press, 2004

Essays of Hilarious Insanity!
Once again, Editors Carol Kolb and Robert Siegel produce a hilarious collection of "newsworthy" crap. Volume 15 is no less funny than the previous volumes and it is the essence of clever, yet mind boggling nonsense that makes a great gift for the bored or the ...
  
  











  



  
The Wealthy Speaker
Jane Atkinson

Speaker Launcher, 2006

Kick your speaking business into gear!
The 'Wealthy Speaker' makes a great deal of sense and with the 'Ready, Aim, Fire' strategy makes it possible for the reader to design practical objectives for their speaking business. I think Jane Atkinson has managed to produce a book that has value for the new and ...
  
  











  



  
The Onion's Finest News Reporting, Volume 1
Scott Dikkers, Robert Siegel, ...

Three Rivers Press, 2000

Hilarious
I discovered The Onion (its website) by accident, one day while searching on the Internet. And I was instantly hooked. The site is incredibly funny, and satirical and points the right amount of fun and directed political commentary at the key issues making the ...
  
  











  



  
The Beckoning Fair One, 2008

Chilling Onions
"The Beckoning Fair One" has become regarded as a classic 'ghost' story, and very deservedly so. Too many supernatural/ghost/horror stories end up focussing myopically on the details of the horror, which however well delineated still leans toward the boring. To be ...
