| 1. |  | The Big Book of Jewish Humor from Harper Paperbacks Price: $13.54 Customer Review:  In a way, we don't ask much of books that tell us they're going to be funny. We want them to make us laugh. But a book of Jewish humor has to do more than that. We have to think. We have to feel the anguish and the joys of Jewish life. We have to smell the pickles and see the relatives. This book is... |

| 6. |  | Goldie's Lox and the Three Bagels: Goldie's Lox and the Three Bagels and Other Jewish Fairy Tales (Fractured Jewish Fairy Tales) from Citadel Price: $8.95 Customer Review: First of all, a warning. You really really need a smattering of Yiddish to understand the jokes in this book, and maybe a little more if you want to get all the in jokes and the names. Which are hilarious. All the yiddish words are italicized and some are explained in the next breath, so it isn't... |

These might be amusing in a comedy club routine leading up to them (and where people are half-drunk... |

| 19. |  | Jewish as a Second Language from Workman Publishing Company Price: $1.14 Customer Review:  I'm a Jewish man married to a non-Jewish woman. I found this book to be neither funny or realistic and actually found that the author was able to insult both Jews and non-Jews at the same time. She made Jews seem to be neurotic and mean, while making non-Jews seem to be not quite as good as Jews. |
