You Can't Survive on Ideas Alone by Bo Burnham (2013-10-01)

Definitely an amazing book. I saw another reviewer on here describe it as "Shel Silverstein for adults", and I couldn't have said it any better. It was an entertaining read. When I started it I didn't want to put it down.

This book includes Bo's amazing satirical, sarcastic humour and also his amazingly varied perspective on people and the little things and everything in between. I love Burnham's stuff because he makes you laugh, then think, then think you shouldn't laugh, then think why did you laugh. I personally loved this book and would recommend it to anyone with the same sense of humour and an open mind.

love Bo Burnham he is my favorite comedian of this generation. the poetry in this book is silly and playful and immature but yet interesting and a very fun read when you have down time. I love it. the book also was shipped in perfect condition and got to me faster than i expected A+++ seller for real.

Bo Burnham is brilliant, somehow once again managing to be simultaneously hilarious and poignant. Chance Bone's illustrations add just the right touch to each page they grace, giving the whole book a sort of "Shel Silverstein For Terribly Vulgar Grown Ups" feel. I love this book.

This poetry book is fantastic, Bo Burnham has so much talent as a comedian, singer/songwriter, and poet. While some poems are just a few words, they are all funny or thoughtful in some way and I've read all of them cover to cover.

Wildly clever, Burnham's poetry is simultaneously a delving into the depths of meaning and a skimming of surface; by highlighting superficiality--and doing so seriously--the comic manages to highlight the incongruities of our psyches: humor, and all its workings. The book is thought-provoking, both tender and cruel, and--above all--funny. For anyone wanting to think or laugh, this is well-worth the purchase.
