20.		Coyote V. Acme by Ian Frazier Paperback $10 Reader Comment: It's good to laugh or experience other physical relief if you still can. When it comes to comedy, there's no one funnier to my mind than Ian Frazier, who writes mainly for the New Yorker. I think he's an under-appreciated genius. In the title story of his 'Coyote Vs. Acme' , Wile E. Coyote sues the Acme corporation over all the defective products they've sold him in his attempts to catch the roadrunner. If this sounds funny to you, check out his book.
