I read (listened) this book because I wanted to watch the movie. I do not like watching movies before reading books on which they are based.

I have always enjoyed The Oatmeal and this book was on sale at my local Barnes and Noble so I bought it. My wife and I made this our bathroom reader and my normally long visits instantly became even longer. It was a good thing that I read this on the toilet because I very […]
