The find
Misery loves company

For a pick-me-up in trying times, check out the new book "11,002 Things to Be Miserable About," by Lia Romeo and her brother Nick Romeo (Abrams, $10.95). This parody of "14,000 Things to Be Happy About" targets the isms (racism, sexism, etc.) and absurdities of life, with silly, sad, serious, gross, and wacky entries. What's to be miserable about? Plus-size models who are thinner than normal people. Woodpeckers with neck pain. Someone else eating the last brownie. The poverty of words.
