THE COOL KID'S GUIDE TO READING: Something we all can enjoy together

Good news, O Best Ones!

The tests came back negative. Now I no longer have to worry about paying for graduate school since I won't be getting in anyway.

Better news, O Best Ones!

Today I debut The Cool Kid's Book of the Month Club, which will appear either semi-annually or bi-annually -- depending on which one means "when I can be bothered to do it."

The Book of the Month Club works like this: I snatch your club sammich and I book.

Oops. Sorry. That's how the Club of the Month Book works.

Ha ha. Humor, O Best Ones, all the kids are doing it.

But semi-seriously, let me be bi-serious. The club works like this: You raise it above your head and bring it down in a chopping motion upon The Cool Kid's head if he DOESN'T STOP with the schtick and hilarity!

This type of thing, for example:

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Who's their what?

Ha, ha. Humor, O Best ...

Ouch!

OK. You made your point -- and with a blunt object. Aren't you the oxymoronic one.

The club works like this: I recommend a book and you read it. Simple, right? I know my readers.

The first selection for The Cool Kid's Book of the Month Club is "Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop" by Reginald Bakeley.

What's it about? It's about yay big. And quadrilateral in shape.

If you do read it -- for some quantum unknowable reason -- and want to share your thoughts, there are people hanging around the corner of Cherry and Third streets who might listen.

Or email me. I'll print out the least aggravating ones and give them to members of my family as Christmas gifts.

They'll be grateful to get anything from me. The Cool Kid is made out of funny, not money.
