The Da Vinci Cod: A Fishy Parody
By Don Brine

A send-up of the Dan Brown bestseller proving once and for all that where there’s a code, there’s a cod...it turns out that Leonardo da Vinci actually didn't know anything at all about a holy bloodline extending to the present day, but he did know a very great deal indeed about what cod really are, and that sinister knowledge is only now coming to light... Fishclaimer: This book has not been authorized or endorsed by Dan Brown or his publishers, but it is much, much funnier.

Life's Little Annoyances
by Ian Urbina

Whatever it is, each of us finds some aspect of everyday life to be particularly maddening, and we often long to lash out at these stubborn irritants of modern life.

by Chuck Goldstone

In his wry and trouser-wetting funny collection of stories, nationally known humorist and radio commentator Chuck Goldstone proves why we humans are a fluky bunch. Purveyor of mockery, angst provocateur, and just plain smartass, Goldstone is an observer of the befuddling activities of life, speaking for most of us and rubbing our noses in the problems we create. Pulitzer Prize winner Ron Suskind claims, “He’s gloriously insane. Plain and simple, he makes me laugh.” Goldstone’s erroneously believes his summa of parlous times can extend the lifespan of readers by, say 15%.
