Take a collection of stories, essays, poetry and other stuff that funny-man Judd Apatow finds funny himself, and that’s reason enough to recommend this book to anyone who can read. Add in the fact that proceeds go to the literacy-teaching org 826 National, and it’s a no-brainer. Edited by Apatow, I Found This Funny includes stuff by Fitzgerald, Franzen, O’Brien (Conan), Alice Munro and others. Not all of it’s funny, Apatow says, but it makes him laugh anyway. The book’s $25 at Word in Greenpoint, at Greenlight in Fort Greene and probably a few other places too. And to learn more about 826 NYC, stop by their headquarters at the Brooklyn Super Hero Supply Co. in Park Slope.
