#junetunz day 25 - #thatjokeisntfunnyanymore

One of the first #anime series I got into back in 2007 during the fansub boom. The humor of the show seemed to get more mean-spirited in the second season, so I can only ever recommend the first, i.e. volumes 1-6 or so of the #manga.

#JuneTunz #thatjokeisntfunnyanymore I was stuck on today's prompt but I picked up this short story that has been sitting in my #TBR pile for months. I found myself laughing at the snarky humor of the beginning 😆& then, as in all good ghost stories, things stopped being funny & got a bit spooky & a lot twisted.😱A fun, quick read that I enjoyed. The pacing was good & it left me with the unsettled feeling of not knowing who or what to believe. 👍📚

batsy I found incredibly unsettling as well. 7y
Cinfhen Well played, Deb💗💗💗 7y

10 strangers are on a deserted island, the home of legendary comedian Dustin Walker. He has invited them there to work on his latest project. When they arrive, they find the island deserted and their host dead. This was a fun read. The murders were inventive and the ending was satisfying. Just be prepared for characters that you like to die. This is a murder mystery after all.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

shawnmooney This sounds like a worthy entry for #ThatJokeIsntFunnyAnymore, doesn't it @Cinfhen ? #JuneTunz 7y
Cinfhen It certainly does @shawnmooney 😘😘😘 7y

I'm taking a literal approach to #ThatJokeIsntFunnyAnymore. Whenever I disagree with my family on politics or religion or life in general, they respond with something along the lines of "Why don't you just stay in your little book world and don't worry about what's happening in real life?" They think it's hilarious. I think it's annoying. #JuneTunz

CouronneDhiver Ugh. 😐 7y

Going super literal for #ThatJokeIsntFunnyAnymore

Steve Martin was the Beatles of stand-up in the 70s, selling out stadiums to screaming crowds. In 1981, he packed up and walked away.

I have always been in awe of Martin's balance of no-holds-barred goofiness and scathing perceptiveness. This memoir is thoughtful, quiet, and occasionally melancholy. It made me love him more than I already did, which was a lot. #JuneTunz

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Jerry Seinfeld talked him into one night of stand-up in 2016, long after this book was published. A great read if you care: http://www.vulture.com/2016/02/steve-martin-performed-stand-up-last-night.html 7y
minkyb Nice blurb! 7y
Andrea4 I've been in love with Steve Martin since I was a kid- I may actually have to read a memoir for the 2nd time in my life! 7y

#ThatJokeIsntFunnyAnymore #JuneTunz @Cinfhen
Oh, Morrissey. I adore your music (although your last album was a bit shit). I even love this delightfully self-indulgent bitchy memoir. But, Morrissey....you MUST stop talking.

arlenefinnigan I guess I'm at fault, Morrissey. I should have been more appalled when you said things like 'the Chinese are subhuman'. I should have condemned that as the disgusting racism it was instead of wincing and rolling my eyes. 7y
arlenefinnigan But your comments after the Manchester bombing, Morrissey.... You crossed a line. Manchester - YOUR Manchester - was in shock. It was grieving. It was overwhelmed with pain and horror, but it was still desperately trying to choose love over hate. And you embarrassed Manchester, Morrissey. You chose hate. 7y
arlenefinnigan You - the Mancunian son of immigrants - blamed the atrocity on immigration. You should have known better. It takes guts to be gentle and kind. You know that, Morrissey. Manchester has guts. Manchester chooses love. 7y
Cinfhen Well said!!! 🙌🏻💕 7y
batsy Agreed with @Cinfhen. Really disappointed with Morrissey, since The Smiths were a fundamental part of my musical coming of age. He spewed some racist bile against Chinese people awhile back too. 7y

I adore The Smiths, and #ThatJokeIsntFunnyAnymore is one of my favorite songs. I feel like he was talking about depression, which seemed like a fitting prompt for the book mentioned above. So sad that the author lost his battle with depression when he committed suicide in 2013. #JuneTunz

Cinfhen I feel like this novel is all too true for many college bound seniors, the pressure is horrible 🙁 7y
EvieBee @Cinfhen Definitely agree with you there, Cindy! 7y

That's how the second half of this book felt like. Shame, I really liked the first half.

Cinfhen You're not the first to say that 🙁 7y
MarriedtoMrT I just finally finished it after months of on and off reading and I would agree. 7y
