Is Sex Necessary?, by James Thurber

Is Sex Necessary?: Or Why You Feel the Way You Do
Classic funny Thurber and his friend E.B. White (yes, the Charlotte's Web E.B. White!) taking on modern (well, 1920s) psychology, and making hay with it.

My World and Welcome To It, by James Thurber

My World-and Welcome to It (Harvest Book) James Thurber is way underappreciated, I think. These short pieces ranged from hilarious to tragic, but most balanced a fine line between the two,  such a hard trick. Even losing his sight, he saw more than most, and was able to point out the funny bits in life even in a sea of slights, and the funny bits are damn funny.

I LOVE James Thurber. I laugh until I can't breathe. One of the all time best American writers. Wonderful beyond words or reason.
