ANT FARM: AND OTHER DESPERATE SITUATIONS: Simon Rich: Random House: Nonfiction: 139 pagesRich has written a collection of short, humorous pieces, many of which appeared previously in the Harvard Lampoon. Favorites for me included the crayon namer whose divorce is affecting his work, resulting in colors like “Sad Blue,” “Sad Red,” and “Sad Green”; the Sultan of Brunei who orders his wife back into her “fortress of rubies”; and a half page example of what the legal system would be like if life were like middle school. This is a fast, funny, often irreverent read.
