Bill Nye: 我将这本书题献给我的妻子,感谢她一直以来的支持和鼓励,即使我的笑话很无聊,她也总是礼貌地笑。她总是鼓励我,勇敢地帮我拿着外套。我不为这本书找任何借口,但它会增加我所著书籍的数量,并提升旅行的乐趣。我在火车上总会遇到一位朋友,那就是报刊销售员,他会向我推销我的书,并真诚地赞扬它们。当我感到沮丧时,我喜欢坐火车,因为总会有陌生人告诉我我的书是无法模仿的。我喜欢火车售货员的坦率和真诚,他不会在你祈祷时打扰你,而是通过给你一些山核桃来赢得你的信任。这本书会增加报刊售货员的负担,如果它能带来版税之外的任何好处,那就是它的价值所在。我已经非常小心地去除了作品中任何带有诗歌色彩的东西,并且其中的思想或建议不会玷污最精致的织物。不要一次性读完这本书,而要一点一点地读,它会治愈你的忧郁。如果你一次读完,感到恶心,那是你活该。

Baled Hay - A Drier Book than Walt Whitmans Leaves o Grass by Bill Nye audiobook.

Imagine settling into your favorite chair, the world hushed around you, as Bill Nye’s delightfully arid wit trickles into your ears in Baled Hay—A Drier Book than Walt Whitman’s Leaves o’ Grass. In this uproarious audiobook you’ll traverse a midwestern landscape of puns, paradoxes, and plainspoken reflections that are as crisp and crackling as sun-baked hay bales under a July sun. With every perfectly timed pause, the narrator’s deadpan delivery transforms painstakingly unpoetic scenes—like mud-caked barn floors and leaky well buckets—into sidesplitting odes of everyday absurdity. Nye’s anecdotes brim with homespun philosophy: from the existential crisis of a lost shovel to the surprising romance of a squeaky windmill blade—and you’ll find yourself laughing aloud at the uncanny precision of his punch lines. Whether you’re tackling a long drive or just craving a pick-me-up, the audiobook’s cadence ensures you feel every quiver of sardonic humor, every artful groan at life’s little inconveniences. By the time the final pun-of-all-puns rattles out, you’ll have inhaled each syllable of dry hilarity, walked a mile in Nye’s wry shoes, and realized no pastoral epic has ever been so deliciously parched. Make room on your playlist—this is Americana spun into verbal hay, ready to ignite your grin with pure, uncut levity.
