Learning the ABC is a significant milestone for children because it is the first step towards learning how to read and write. Most children use alphabet books with corresponding pictures or information to help them memorize the letters; A is for apple, B is for ball. The pictures help capture the imagination of children and also learn about the world. But who says education needs to stop at adulthood? Illustrator Toby Leigh has created ABC for Adults — "twisting the meaning of innocent, childlike words into hysterically funny yet terrifying adult themes." According to his website, Toby made the parody version of "the classic ABC books from yesteryear" because, "Unfortunately, we all grew up and became paranoid, cynical adults filled with fear and hatred. But don't despair, this new book will help guide you and your family through this difficult phase of your existence." Check out a sample of the hilarious works below, where H is for heart attack, and Z is for zippers… in bondage suits.

Let's take a trip down memory lane to when you were a teenager in school. You're sitting in English class, Pride and Prejudice is open in front of you, it's long, and you're struggling to stay awake. You stayed up all night talking to your crush on the phone, and you haven't read the book, despite having a test on it tomorrow. There's no way you can physically read the whole thing in one night even if you wanted to; the language is too complicated. It's not an Instagram post; it's looooong AF! If only there were a condensed version that you could skim through on your bus ride home after school, you would ace that test, no problem. Well, now it does; Book-A-Minute is a website that as "taken all kinds of great works of literature and boiled them down to their essence, extracting all the filler (and believe me, there's a lot of it sometimes). In just one minute, you can read entire books and learn everything your teachers will expect you to know." It's genius, it's hilarious, and I love these condensed literary classics I never read when I was younger. It's like scrolling through an Instagram feed, but Shakespeare and Steinbeck are the influencers.

in 1995, author and former journalist Dave Barry published a book called "Complete Guide to Guys." There was a passage from that book that explained the difference between men and women in such an accurate and hilarious way that people are still talking about it 23-years later. Scroll down and see for yourself.
The book 'Milk and Honey' is most famous for its poems about love and self-empowerment. Some time ago a very talented guy came up with a brilliant idea and fused the two most amazing things together: the book "Milk and Honey" with the hilarious quotes from the vine videos and made the book which is now called "Milk and Vine." Yes, you read that right. Milk and Vine. It contains the vine quotes written in a similar style to the poems from the original book, and everyone just loves it. Emily Beck and Adam Gasiewski – Authors of the book, published it on Amazon and it went viral overnight.
