The Big Book of Irony | Jon Winokur

The DoD has pulled this book from DoD schools pending a “compliance review.” Disclaimer: I have never read this book, have no interest in reading it. There are much better books to discuss life in the Appalachians.

dabbe Now THAT's a banned book I can wrap my head around! 🤣🤣🤣 2w
RamsFan1963 I figured the way book banning was going, the only two book that would be left in libraries would be this and The Art of The Deal "written" (ha!) by Donald Trump 1w
DogMomIrene 😂🤣😂🤣 Wonder if that ban lasts, though… 1w

Interesting how Hillary wrote a memo and did research on presidential impeachment- I love foreshadowing in history. #foreshadowing #irony #hillaryrodham #hillaryclinton #richardnixon #billclinton #impeachment #uspolitics #ushistory #history #politicalscience #presidency #peterbaker

I still don‘t understand. It still sounds like sarcasm to me. Examples didn‘t help. A few examples were amusing, but still didn‘t help. It started with explanations of the different types of irony, then a history of irony. There were various examples of authors using irony, irony in pop culture. At least it was fast to read. I liked that there were a number of Canadian examples. But I still don‘t “get” it. I‘m probably more confused than ever.

Appreciate what you have. Lesson learned the hard way in this story. This was an amazing short story. I had never read it.
