Your Wildest Dreams, Within Reason
Your Wildest Dreams, Within Reason | Mike Sacks
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
Your Wildest Dreams, Within Reason collects Mike Sacks's unique humor pieces--craigslist ads, lesser-known tantric positions, letters to famous authors, lists, jokes, and the occasional illustration--into one handsome volume. Ever accidentally sent a mass e-mail to your office describing your Not Safe-For-Work fantasy kingdom? Or been confused about the ground rules at a cuddle party? Looking to rent an overpriced room in the Hamptons from a co-dependent sociopath with a checkered past (and a hot tub)? Good. Your Wildest Dreams, Within Reason collects Mike Sacks’s unique humor pieces—Craigslist ads, lesser-known tantric positions, letters to famous authors, Shaft living in the suburbs, a classic-rock DJ suffering a nervous breakdown, the occasional list—into one handsome, convenient volume. Originally published in The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Esquire, and McSweeney’s, among other venerable publications, Sacks’s writing is original and sharp, yet broadly funny. Whether it’s a groom tweeting his wedding and honeymoon in real time, or a publisher offering editorial suggestions for The Diary of Anne Frank, Sacks’s work tangles contemporary social satire with his absurdist sensibilities.

In an attempt to clear my shelves, I'm reading through some of my oldest TBRs on the shelves, each week I'll grab at least one. This book has been waiting about 5 years! It was funny and cute, a perfect purse/commute book as the stories/essays were just a few pages each and the cover is a conversation starter. So, book 1 of my project is a keeper☺

Unquestionably the funniest book I have ever read! Every sentence is a comedic masterpiece! Even the blurbs for the book are funny!
