Ellen DeGeneres published her first book, the #1 bestselling "My Point...and I Do Have One," way back in 1996. Not one to rest on her laurels, Ellen has since dedicated her life to writing a hilarious new book. That book is this book.

After years of painstaking, round-the-clock research, surviving on a mere twenty minutes of sleep a night, and collaborating with lexicographers, plumbers and mathematicians, DeGeneres has crafted a book that's both easy to use and very funny. Along with her trademark ramblings, "The Funny Thing Is..." contains hundreds of succinct insights into her psyche, supplemented by easy-to-understand charts, graphs, and diagrams so that you'll never miss a joke.

Overseeing all aspects of production, DeGeneres labored over details both significant and insignificant, including typefaces, page number placement, and which of the thousands of world languages to use. Ultimately she selected English, as it's her mother tongue, but translations into Hindi and Pig Latin are already in the works.

Sure to make you laugh, The Funny Thing is...is an indispensable reference for anyone who knows how to read or wants to fool people into thinking they do. Available in paperback, hardcover, and audio book format (abridged cassette and unabridged CD).

This item ships to U.S. and international destinations.

Comments about The Ellen DeGeneres "THE FUNNY THING IS..." BOOK:

This book was sooo gosh-darn funny. I've read it about several times and already lent it to a couple of family members and they too loved it. Can't wait to get it back to read it again. Great buy.

The secret about Ellen's book...
By owl....Verified Buyer from Just north of Minneapolis. on 7/5/2009
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about The Ellen DeGeneres "THE FUNNY THING IS..." BOOK:

The audio book. That's it. Hearing Ellen read her book, is the way to go. My brother hit my head against a wall too many times. So now, it's eaiser for me to get the audio book, because I don't remember very well,so can't say I actually was bright enough to get the audio book.
One more thing. Thank you for having the audio book. It's special that you have that available,
and it's fun to hear you read it.Thanks all.
