3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. "You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style." ~ Vladimir Nabokov By Allen Smalling "Bigamy is having one husband too many. Monogamy is the same." ~ Erica Jong."It's all that the young can do for the old, to shock them and keep them up to date." ~ G.B. Shaw.This is a wonderful book! Dozens of themes, from "Academic Life" to "Gossip" to "Philosophy" all the way to "Youth." Newly revised (5th Edition, 2013) with 338 pages of funny quotes and over a hundred pages of indices so you can look up your favorites by author or by sub-topic. Those cracking wise range all the way from Shakespeare and the Bible and gather steam particularly from the mid-Eighteenth Century until virtually the present. The quoted include politicians, theater people, poets, philosophers, authors and practically anyone else who committed wit and got away with it. The book's British provenance is evident, as witness the fact that Noel Coward is quoted four times as often as Cole Porter. But the most recent editor has been listening to both sides of the Atlantic, and entrants now include famous American smartasses like Woody Allen and Fran Lebowitz ("I love sleep because it is both pleasant and safe to use"), along with the likes of the Two Ronnies, Douglas Adams and John Cleese.The OXFORD DICTIONARY OF HUMOROUS QUOTATIONS is not a joke book, more like a BARTLETT'S FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS that refuses to be serious; and as the prior reviewer said it's good enough to read all the way through. It may seem a little expensive, but it's a solid, well-manufactured book (Italy) that will stand up to the heavy use it is sure to get. Highly recommended.

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Marvelous By GEDTEACH This book may find a place in your reference library only, but I enjoyed it so much that I found myself reading it from cover to cover twice. It's indexed by subject and/or author, another feature that I liked about it. You may like the humor it presents, as I did, or you may find in it a history, of sorts, of the subtle but definite changes in our culture. Several members of my family even received copies for Christmas; I thought it a classic and durable choice. Winston Churchill is still my personal favorite, but then I'm an Anglophile and he's the epitome of British, in my book! Cheers!
