Gift Guide: Judd Apatow Found This Funny

An anthology whose proceeds benefit 826 National, the tutoring, writing, and publishing organization founded and run by Dave Eggers, I Found This Funny is a compilation of humor and fiction curated by noted literati Judd Apatow.

It's an invigorating mixture of dark and light, high and low, short and long, funny and not-so-much--I'm sure there's a rude punchline out there somewhere but I'll leave it to the experts. Apatow puts Fitzgerald beside Conan O'Brien and Paul Feig next to Alice Munro; it's basically a cracked-out cocktail party in a book. Do it for the kids.
