The definitive biography of P.D.Q. Bach (1807-1742)? by Peter Schickele
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After collecting records, I now have enjoyed this detailed and encompassing book-length treatment of the joke. I think it hits my funnybone the same way Monty Python does and I see in reading these old chestnuts that some of this stuff has crept into my own repertoire and become part of my own sense of humor...
