Platitudes for a Life in Hell



Available now at amazon.com:		*Platitudes for a Life in Hell* is a book-length collection of 75 satirical shorts mixed with innumerable aphorisms, cartoons, and other items skewering inspirational and self-help literature.

I think that's right. I feel like I read it somewhere.
Coming in October 2011, the new book Pieces, Items, and Sundry Shorts:
