xkcd: volume 0 by Randall Munroe, 3/5

XKCD is my favourite webcomic–I visit the homepage several times a week to check for updates and, despite having a liberal-arts degree, I usually understand enough to get a good laugh (or two, because: alt text).  However, this collection of some of Munroe’s favourite strips reflects a mind that is both keener and dirtier than my own.  I did not understand much of it, and much that I did understand was pretty R-rated.  But I’m not complaining; the best part of buying this book is that it supports the webcomic.

[Why I read it: I was given it as a gift (being basically the only present I hinted for last holidays).]
