The Great Horse Ride: Funny or Stupid?

A book has been published that just might be the stupidest book ever to make it into print. The book is called The Great Horse Ride (La Grande Cavalcata). It looks like a normal book. It’s approximately sixty pages long. However, all that it contains is the sound of the horse ride over and over and over again.

If you take a look at the picture at the top of this post, you will see everything that you are going to see when you purchase this book. It’s just the tale of "clip clop, clip clop, clip clop" repeated again and again.

The book is, apparently, supposed to be a joke book. It’s a gag gift for your friends. As the author writes in the afterword, it’s a book that is basically an experiment in writing something funny. It may or may not appeal to you but it’s something that has the potential to cause a laugh for someone you know.

Okay, we’ll give you that. The idea is a little bit dumb but we can see how it might be funny. You open a present expecting it to be something good. You take a look at the cover of the book and it looks legit. You say thank you. Then later, when you actually go to read the book, you see what it’s all about and maybe you laugh out loud.

So, okay, we can see how it makes a good gag gift for your friend. However, this book costs nearly $20 on Amazon. There are some really amazing classic books on Amazon for a lot less than that price. There are books that great authors put some serious work into. It just doesn’t seem right for this gag book to go for that kind of money. In fact, it just seems stupid.

    Seriously, I honestly wonder how some books get published and how some movies get made. What a waste of money, gag gift or not!
