I'm guessing that you, like most people, would not consider your daily commute the best part of your day.

But Alyse Landers sees things quite differently. Her co-commuters have unwittingly provided her with a never-ending treasure trove of funny stories and laugh-out-loud moments.

After making her friends and family laugh for years with her real life daily commuting stories, she decided she would make this past year's 480 hour commute time count for something. Beginning in December 2014, she jotted down every story she overheard to and from her job in NYC. She then extracted the 30 best stories and compiled those gems into this hilarious book.

From debates over grilled vs. fried chicken, to a modern Mona Lisa, to a golfer who hoards his shoe collection to the Peanut Butter & Jelly Tie Guy-you will meet a variety of amazing, interesting, and colorful characters from all walks of life. Alyse's unique observations and magical way of telling these stories makes you feel as if you are sitting on the train right beside her. So get ready to laugh as you devour story after story. Who knew commuting could be so entertaining?
