pure drivel

Pure Drivel is one of the funniest books I've read in a long time. Written by Steven Martin in 1998, it is at once silly, irreverant and utterly ridiculous, and takes the form of a series of essays, some of which were published in the New Yorker. Here's a text link to the first chapter of the book, and here is an interview with Steve which is actually quite good. Here's a review that Salon did way back when. Ah, Steve.
