“Leto is as funny as she is well-read; a delight for bibliophiles and wannabes alike.” —Wylie Overstreet, author of The History of the World According to Facebook Lauren Leto, humor blogger and co-author of Texts from Last Night, now offers a fascinating field guide to the hearts and minds of readers everywhere. Judging a Book by Its Lover is like a literary Sh*t My Dad Says—an unrelentingly witty and delightfully irreverent guide to the intricate world of passionate literary debate, at once skewering and celebrating great writers, from Dostoevsky to Ayn Rand to Jonathan Franzen, and all the people who read them. This provocative, smart, and addictively funny tome arose out of Leto’s popular “book porn” blog posts, and it will delight and outrage literature fans, readers of Stuff White People Like and I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar—people obsessed with literary culture and people fed up with literary culture—in equal measure.

Texts from Last Night

In the tradition of The Truth About Chuck Norris, PostSecret, and I Can Has Cheezburger?, Texts from Last Night celebrates the funniest and most outrageous text messages from the instantly popular website There are few forms of communication that are more entertaining, appalling, and laugh-out-loud hilarious than the text message--especially when it's received in the wee hours of the morning from a friend who has had one too many shots of tequila. Texts from Last Night is a celebration of the best, worst, and weirdest text messages that have ever been sent, such as: •Before i could say "i'm not the kind of girl," i was •I got us kicked out of the bar because the waitress found me in the kitchen trying to make spaghetti •The ticket read "found nude in a tree" Texts from Last Night is chock full of LOL and WTF moments and will make any thumb-typer :) in recognition.
