For some reason this made me feel very proud that I could read...

[–]birkoph 15 points16 points ago

Terrible Instructions. I got a paper cut on my dick.

[–]CaptainYoshi 34 points35 points ago

Shit I read the part I was supposed to ignore.

Reading is harder than I thought...

[–]mikeet9 7 points8 points ago

It's okay! If you follow the instructions then you are supposed to ignore the instructions so you must read it to follow instructions...wait.

[–]AzureLuna 5 points6 points ago

[–]elizzybeth 18 points19 points ago

What book is this from?

[–]JoelBlackout 8 points9 points ago

Inquiring minds want to know.

[–]C_IsForCookie[S] 72 points73 points ago

"This is a Book" by Demetri Martin

[–]Nocturnal_Nick 24 points25 points ago

Just bought this book for my kindle. Read the prologue. Laughed. Was happy that I made the $9 investment. Up voted in thanks. Wrote reply to post, stated that I wrote reply to post, pointed out that I stated that I wrote reply to post, re-enforced that I pointed out that I stated that I wrote reply to post and so on and so forth.

[–]C_IsForCookie[S] 1 point2 points ago

Oh you... I like you.

[–]TurqTurtle 9 points10 points ago

Demetri Martin wrote a book?!?!?!?! holy fuck i need to buy it asap.

[–]CaptainDjango 5 points6 points ago

It's really good. Get out there!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Meh, I thought it was OK. His stand-up makes me laugh out loud, but the book only elicited a few chuckles.

[–]BillDaBeast 1 point2 points ago

He has a new one coming out called "Point your Face at This"

[–]TurqTurtle 0 points1 point ago

Should I actually buy it, or do you geet the same experience from just reading it on like an ipod or something of the sort?

[–]CaptainDjango 0 points1 point ago

I'm a bookseller so I guess any answer I give would be slightly biased :P I'd get the real thing, especially when it's in hardback like I did. Something about a book that's tangible for years and you can proudly display for the rest of your life is mainly what attracted me to the industry, but I don't know you so I can't sat what you want from a book.

[–]TurqTurtle 0 points1 point ago

I meant like are there jokes in the book that have to do with the fact that it is an actual book?

[–]Qreeuss 0 points1 point ago

Bought it when it came out a while back, not disappointed.

[–]ThePhenix 0 points1 point ago

Hmmm!

[–]mckelroy88 0 points1 point ago

I knew it! the "(Please ignore this part)" just sounded like his kind of humor.

[–]needleman16 6 points7 points ago

This was the best book i have ever read. Written by the best comedian i have ever seen.

[–]tescofresco 5 points6 points ago

For some reason I read this in Cave Johnsons voice.

[–]welp_that_happened 4 points5 points ago

"This Page Intentionally Left Blank"
...er... thanks..

[–]trafficrush 2 points3 points ago

This book is my coffee table book! I loved it!

[–]narfy 2 points3 points ago

<3 Demetri Martin.

[–]jw3030 2 points3 points ago

No no no..that's only how to read THAT book. Others work differently.

[–]shawnthejedi 1 point2 points ago

Misleading title. The title clearly states "How to read a book" whereas the directions in the book clearly state how to read that specific book.

[–]ObnoxiousSeizures 0 points1 point ago

I thought this was from 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'

[–]adithecat -1 points0 points ago

I remember that stain on the page from the last repost

[–]TAIOCRUZ_BESTRAPPER 1 point2 points ago

Dat stain

[–]praxis131 -1 points0 points ago

Instructions not clear enough. Paper cuts on my dick.

[–]Epicaq 0 points1 point ago

Ignore the sentence which tells me to ignore? If I ignore it, how can I know that I should ignore it? Aaaaagh!!! It's killing what's left of my brain.

[–]brandorobot 0 points1 point ago

I read the part I was supposed to ignore, but I didn't know....

[–]Jwojcek 0 points1 point ago

I guess no one cares this was posted twice like 2 weeks ago

[–]MagnusPaajarvi 0 points1 point ago

Demetri Martin is a genius

[–]Shizo211 0 points1 point ago

Gosh, you failed hard. It said ignore this part and you spread bothered so much that you posted it onto the Internet for Karma.

[–]EOverM 0 points1 point ago

This is also at the start of "If Chins Could Kill", if I'm not mistaken.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

This book was amazing...

[–]KizzyKid 0 points1 point ago

I couldn't understand the instructions? How do I read it?!

[–]its_over_2250 1 point2 points ago

I didn't ignore that last part.

[–]jaked409 -2 points-1 points ago

What if the page doesn't have that gross stain on it? Will I still be able to read it?

[–]LittleDancinMan 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of the warning page in the Choose Your Own Adventure books that explains how to read the book.

[–]UnrelatedRacistJoke 0 points1 point ago

What's white on top and black on the bottom? Society.

Then you'll probably put commas where they don't belong.
