Books! Actual books!


"A rollicking ride of intellectual discovery and emotional growth... his comic timing never fails"
-- The Wall Street Journal

"Pulls you in like a good sports story"
-- The New York Times Book Review

"Endearingly frank... jubilant... lighthearted and fast-paced"
-- New York Newsday

"A surprisingly touching memoir"
-- Entertainment Weekly

"Snappy and informative"
-- Associated Press

"Effortlessly funny and informative... tender, human, and very wise... A must for anyone who loves Jeopardy!, or has ever seen it, or is breathing."
-- Joss Whedon, creator, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

"I haven't seen Jeopardy! since I was a kid, and yet I was charmed and amused by Bob Harris's fascinating and surprisingly suspenseful book. Through sheer force of personality, he takes this brainy TV show and makes it funny and easy to relate to."
-- Ira Glass, creator and host, This American Life

-- Orson Scott Card, 4-time Hugo Award winner, author of Ender's Game

"Funny, enlightening -- and just might help you win a million bucks on Jeopardy!"
-- A. J. Jacobs, author of The Know-It-All

"A masterful job of describing the feel of Jeopardy! in the heat of battle... I knew Bob was a great guy and a fantastic Jeopardy! player. Now I've found that he's also a wonderful writer. I think I'm starting to hate him."
-- Brad Rutter, top money-winner in Jeopardy! history

Books I'm Getting





“Revelatory... Harris's sly wit and infectious curiosity make understanding world chaos fascinating... witty, horrific, and necessary.”
Boston Globe

"Brave... irreverent... charges into the thick of the globe's myriad simmering wars... hilariously relaxed."
New York Observer

"Only Bob could make a user’s guide to our increasingly hostile world this absorbing, this breezy, and—ultimately—this hopeful.”
Ken Jennings, author of Brainiac: Adventures in the Curious, Competitive, Compulsive World of Trivia Buffs

“Fascinating, enlightening, and surprisingly: NOT TOTALLY DEPRESSING. A gimlet-eyed look at the world we endure that’s also suitable for enjoying with a gimlet.”
John Hodgman, author of The Areas of My Expertise
and correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart


"All three [presidential] candidates should read all three of these [recommended] books, but McCain gets first crack at Bob Harris's "Who Hates Whom“... a lighthearted overview of the insurrections and civil wars in the world today."

The 12-language clock face was popular enough that it's now available in three styles:

I'm happy with the original red flavor on my wall, but some of you might prefer a different look.  I can't make up my mind if the little globe watercolor in the middle looks good or makes it too crowded.  But as the right-wing would have it, we'll let the market decide.

You might notice very minor tweaks in the design of even the old red one.  I hope that's cool.  (No worries -- the original design seems not to have exploded on anyone or anything.)  This is simply a) to improve accuracy just slightly -- the little ASL hand is a bit more representative if rotated slightly, for example -- and b) to intentionally create rare early versions which collectors will someday cherish and possibly kill each other over.

So, if you were an early adopter, congratulations on your future wealth.  You might want to buy a can of mace or something for when the throngs arrive.  (Especially if CafePress allows me to design a really cool can of mace.  Which itself could have a rare early edition... oh, dear.)

Incidentally, since this whole CafePress thing is new, I'd be interested in hearing (either in comments or by email) how the whole ordering thing has worked out.  Everything I've heard so far has been good, and my first order showed up sooner than expected in good condition.  But it's what you guys are getting that matters.  Any problems, I'd like to fix them straight off.

Thanks!
