Happy Cruelty Day!'s Blurbs |
About me:
I'm Bob Powers and this is the Myspace page devoted to my upcoming book. I really like my book, and I wouldn't say that about just any book. Only mine. Everything below this paragraph is ripped off from the stuff printed all over the book jacket. Read that to find out why you should buy the book. Read my blog posts above to find out why it's okay to want Jeffrey to win Project Runway, even though he's a cock.

HAPPY CRUELTY DAY!
Daily Celebrations of Quiet Desperation
By BOB POWERS
"I just wanted to give you a warning before you bought this book. You will
enjoy it. But it will also crush your heart."
-JOHN HODGMAN, author of THE AREAS OF MY EXPERTISE
From author BOB POWERS, this is the long-awaited book compilation of the best from the first three years of Girls Are Pretty, plus over fifty "Days" that have never been available on the web or anywhere else. In stores December 26th, just in time for New Years!
PRE-ORDER NOW:
Happy Cruelty Day!: Daily Celebrations of Quiet Desperation - ON AMAZON..
"My kind of book. Mean, but in a way that makes me smile. It's like a
pleasant nightmare."
-Saturday Night Live cast member FRED ARMISEN
For everyone looking to find a little extra magic in a life with little to
celebrate, Happy Cruelty Day! is here.
Beginning on January 1, the book features 365 new holidays, each
accompanied by a strange and often disgusting humorous short story
explaining the day you woke up in and how to celebrate it. These 365 daily
doses of delight, perversion, and nonsense include "Hire Someone Attractive
To Pretend To Love You Day," "Hang on to Your Wide-Eyed Innocence Day,"
"Sit in Abject Terror Day," and, of course, "Cruelty Day."
Raw, ridiculous, and laugh-out-loud funny, this is a sharp-edged satire on
the subtleties, shallowness, and stupidity of daily life.
"Never again we will wonder why every day is the same. Now each day can be
horribly, hilariously different."
-SAM LIPSYTE, author of HOME LAND
"Wickedly funny work - a writer to be reckoned with, and maybe just a
little afraid of."
-CHRIS REGAN, Emmy Award-winning writer, THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART and co-author, AMERICA: THE BOOK
“So much more than a humor book -- hilarious, wise, and truly original --
the daily psalmbook of the absurd.”
-MIKE ALBO, author of THE UNDERMINER
"Bob Powers is the kind of man who can inform you that you'll be
waking up in a dilapidated budget motel in Denver. That you'll be
jumped by drug-addled corporate embezzlers; that you're prone to
robbing your personal physician for his wedding ring and cash; that
you're the last milkman in the country, and that you sleep with any
boozed-up piece of office trash who wins the weekly trivia night at
the local bar --- and when he tells you all of this, it somehow makes
your day. Hell, even your entire year."
-DAN KENNEDY, Author of LOSER GOES FIRST, McSweeney's advice columnist.
BOB POWERS has performed at HBO's Aspen Comedy Festival, and he co-hosts
and performs in the monthly reading series How To Kick People in New York
City. Everyday is a holiday at his website girlsarepretty.com.
