Representaion Concering Books Horseradish
Lemony Snicket's work is filled with bitter truths, like: 'It is always cruel to laugh at people, of course, although sometimes if they are wearing an ugly hat it is hard to control yourself.' Or: 'It is very easy to say that the important thing is to try your best, but if you are in real trouble the most important thing is not trying your best, but getting to safety.'
For all of life's ups and downs, its celebrations and its sorrows, here is a book to commemorate it all – especially for those not fully soothed by chicken soup. Witty and irreverent, Horseradish is a book with universal appeal, a delightful vehicle to introduce Snicket's uproariously unhappy observations to a crowd not yet familiar with the Baudelaires' misadventures.

Great fun! This is a charming and depressing book of quotes about some of the bitter truths of life. Some of these quotes I recognized from his unfortunate series but others are twisted truths and gloomy observations of common expressions. Like, "There are some people who believe that home is where one hangs one's hat, but these people tend to live in closets and on little pegs."I particularly liked the quotes about reading and libraries. For example: "A library is like an island in the middleI can't get enough of Lemony Snicket's dry, droll humor. In Horseradish, Lemony gives a collection of life's bitter truths. Here are some of my favorite quotes:"Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.""It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone you know. It is like walking up the
4.5 STARS!While some of this was more common sense, a lot of these were kind of wake up calls and others were just funny. They carry that same sense of doom that all of Snicket's words seem to convey, which I loved.There was just something about this, it was a quick read but I still felt enlightened despite having already known and experienced most of these things (which may be why I loved it even more). He also described some things so perfectly, I just couldn't help but love this little

"If writers wrote as carelessly as some people talk, then adhadh asdglaseuyt[bn[ pasdlgkhasdfasdf""Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.""In times of extreme stress one can often find energy hidden in even the most exhausted areas of the body."Just a few of my favorites :)This little book that took me 30 minutes to read, if that, is one that I know I'll buy because every page is perfection.
How could I not give this a positive review with such obvious panders as:Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.andA good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them.Because even though those examples aren't what give Snicket's collection their depth,One of the remarkable things about love is that, despite very irritating people writing poems and songs about how pleasant it is,
I completely forgot to mention that I re-read this little gem of wisdom over the weekend. Funny enough it actually did quite a bit to uplift an otherwise dreary mood. I think it might be one of those books I should read yearly, like Love That Dog (Actually maybe I should go and re-read that one now!) as it is one of those that gives far more than it takes. Thanks Mr. Snicket, sir. You have served me well once more.
This book is hilarious! It has many random bits from the Series of Unfortunate events. I think this book would make a great book for the coffee table, because you could open it up and giggle at it without having to read a whole story. I just recently read the series of unfortunate events and it was fun to find quotes that I had read aloud to my roommate.
