Even more laughs than what?

I am a very big fan of short stories and have listened to the Selected Shorts program for over 20 years. I have heard many really funny stories over the years. These are mostly humorous, but not really among the funniest. Indeed check out the American Classics volume for some really funny (and touching and creepy) stories. Several of these stories were really trying to be funny, but did not work for me.

First time laughing on a book

Really enjoable, 6 out of 8 are excellent and acted out really great, the other two are pretencious and not ironic at all

Wide Range of Humor

I love the Selected Series - I find I learn about authors that I have never heard of before and end up enjoying.

4.5 - "The Swim Team" by Miranda July and read by Parker Posey
4.0 - "The Schartz-Metterklume Method" by Saki, was read by Marian Seldes
3..0 -"Country Cooking from Central France: Roast Boned Rolled Stuffed Shoulder of Lamb (Farce Double)" by Harry Matthews
and read by Isaiah Sheffer
4.5 - "YMA Dream" by Thomas Mathews and read by Christine Baranski (who does an incredible job with this story)
4.0 -"Covered" by Julia Slavin and read by Alec Baldwin
4.0 -"The Conversation of Jews" by Philip Roth read by Jerry Zachs

Smiling more than laughing

Ironically the best story from this compilation was the once that was given away for free. My main problem with this audiobook is that a lot of the stories aren't that funny. Yes, I probably smiled a little during each of them but really didn't laugh all that much.

Just...just bad

I'm a lover of dry, wry wit...but for god's sake, this is horrible. This is the sort of dribble you dread sitting through at a boring friend's dinner party.
