“I think comedy is so much easier to do on the page than it is in real life. When I'm writing, comedy is an easy way to win over the reader. You're automatically more disposed to keep reading, thinking maybe, "I'll get another laugh or two." I think it's a survival instinct in me.

I think to some extent it's a desperate measure that I throw out there, because a novel isn't a complete waste of time if it made you laugh.” ThinkingWritingMeanRealGuyReadingWinningEasyNovelLaughingComedySurvivalInstinctReal LifeDesperateKeep GoingWasting Time Author:Joshua Ferris
“Why shouldn't it be that way for the rest of us? Why not just go with it?

I didn't know it could be that easy. I didn't know that until just now. That sounds good to me.” KnowsWayLifePlayEasySoundWalksWatchesWorryDogStreamsSunsetWhy NotBicycleTweetHamstersScones Author:Joshua Ferris
