Shall I Compare Thee?: A Witty Collection of Quotable Similies by Rosemarie Jarski
A compendium of quotable humour - 800 examples of that most loved discipline of verbal gymnastics, the simile. Broken down into subject categories from the sublime (love and life) to the ridiculous (bad hair days and dieting) it features quotes from Shakespeare through to present-day "similists", such as Martin Amis, Richard Curtis, Kathy Lette, Bernard Levin and Jerry Seinfeld.
