Damn You, Autocorrect!: Awesomely Embarrassing Text Messages You Didn't Mean to Send by Jillian Madison
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sometimes I need a quick mind cleanser between reading novels. I don't usually pick up books that are crafted out of websites or technology flaws, and though I read humor essays and memoirs, I don't usually pick up joke books. But this little gem kept me cracking up, literally LOLing with tears falling down my face, for the last couple of weeks. I don't always laugh when I think something is funny - sometimes it's just a nod or a smirk or a mental note to myself that, "hey, that was funny," but this book made me physically hurt from laughing.


The themes are broken into sections, so you can skip around if you are especially interested in subjects that involve parents, breaking up, etc...


This isn't high art, but it's some of my favorite kind of humor - chaotic miscommunication and the way it can absolutely shut down people.


I recommend this when you are looking for a quick cheer-up, when you're home with a cold, or as a gift for your favorite teenager.
