Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

These tarantulas have distinguished themselves among arachnophiles all around the world with their unusual looks and peculiar activities. An overview of tarantulas with curly hair: The remarkable look of curly hair tarantulas is attributed to their thick layer of fine, curled hairs covering their bodies. Their unique characteristic makes them stand out from other tarantula species and adds to their allure for pet owners. These distinctive hairs, which give the tarantula's exoskeleton a visually pleasing and velvety texture, are the source of the colloquial moniker "curly hair". These tarantulas come in a variety of hues, such as black and brown tones, with occasional flashes of red or orange. Their unique patterns and medium to big size make them an intriguing subject for both scholars and aficionados. Relevance to the Pet Industry: Curly hair tarantulas are becoming more and more popular, and this is mostly due to the pet trade. These tarantulas have grown in popularity as exotic pet owners become more knowledgeable about the species and add them to their terrariums and collections. Both inexperienced and seasoned spider keepers can benefit from their generally calm disposition and reasonable maintenance needs.
