Diversifying My Bookshelves


You are Worthless, by Dr. Scott Dikkers
Business must just be booming for Dr. Dikkers.
A Reader's Respite would make an appointment, but he doesn't accept Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
That's a shame.

  1. What publisher in their right mind would allow something like this to pass over their desk???? And I love the name. Mr. Dikkers? That is just as bad as Mr. Linky.

  2. Okay, that is awesomely awful! It would have made a great message on the "Breaking Bad News with Baby Animals" post cards I found last year.

  3. OMG - just laughed my butt off! I want to buy some copies and send them to random people. That would be hysterical! This reminds me a little of the Deep Thoughts skit on SNL by Jack Handey...the thought starts off normal, but always veers to the demented! Love it!

  4. Oh lord!! And it's the second in a series. I missed the best-selling Just Give up! So I'm glad you posted this.

    I think I'll just put my head on my desk now and stop writing. My thoughts are as worthless as I am. Sigh.

  9. I like the flowers. Gives the book a nice, friendly feel. There's nothing nicer than bright, cheerful flowers to take the edge off of being told just how worthless you are.

  12. wait just one minute! "Dr." Scott Dikkers is an editor of The Onion! I think this might not be a serious book!
    I am heartbroken...I thought I had found a book that really spoke to ME!

  13. How funny! I'm sure it's probably not a serious book, but I still don't think I'd want to receive it as a gift!
