Perfect stocking stuffer for the nerd in your life who was a teenager in the sixties. Graphs based on songs from that era. Hilarious. Will make your favorite nerd laugh out loud.
Great book if you like the web site

This is a very funny book that uses graphs and charts to reference funny favorites in pop culture(ex: probability of quitting as a function of legitimacy {aka- The Hammer Theorem}). I have been a fan of the graphjam website for a while and was looking forward to this book. While I found most graphs hilarious, a small handful were uninspired and there were a few that I didn't get the reference. Luckily, an index was provided detailing all of the pop culture references to help anyone scratching their head. All in all, I would suggest this book to anyone up for a good laugh. It is easy to pick up and read, especially if you just have a minute or two to kill and find some quality entertainment.
Lots of fun

Although there were certainly graphs I didn't get (probably based on songs I don't know or perhaps movies I haven't seen), the large number that I did know were almost universally amusing or even laugh-out-loud-able. I especially liked the Star Wars charts. I may buy another copy for a friend, because I think my friend would be entertained by this.
