Love Conquers All (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Robert Benchley

Overview

Long before Jerry Seinfeld’s witty observations about “nothing,” Robert Benchley was finding humor in daily life. In this collection of his essays, originally published in 1922, Benchley offers his wry insights into the seemingly mundane with essays such as “How to Watch a Chess Match,” “Do Insects Think?” and “Reading the Funnies Aloud.”
