Themed collection of quotes, jokes, and anecdotes invites readers to rediscover human nature through humour and sharp observation

South West England – February 20, 2026 – Gerard O'Boyle, a seasoned collector of life's humorous truths, announces the forthcoming release of More Quotes, Jokes, and Anecdotes, a fresh anthology that gathers hundreds of witty, insightful entries on everyday human experiences.

This book brings together original contributions alongside timeless gems from renowned figures including Rodney Dangerfield, Woody Allen, Groucho Marx, Henry Youngman, Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, Mae West, and others.

Organized by relatable themes such as age, alcohol, beauty, success, failure, happiness, friendship, money, politics, truth, and human nature, the collection offers short, memorable observations that balance sharp humor with genuine insight.

Unlike dense philosophical tomes, More Quotes, Jokes, and Anecdotes is designed for casual, non-linear reading. Readers can dip in at any page for a quick laugh, a moment of reflection, or a clever perspective on life's contradictions. The entries stand on their own without heavy interpretation, allowing the wit and wisdom to speak directly.

"Some of the most honest observations about life come wrapped in a single, well-phrased line," said Gerard O'Boyle. "This book leans into that kind of humour. The kind that makes you think, then catches you smiling a second later. It’s for readers who enjoy wit over shock value, and who find human nature endlessly fascinating."

O'Boyle, who has lived and worked in countries across three continents, including teaching in North America and the Middle East, spent his later career running a financial planning business near the Exmoor National Park border. His background as a keen observer of people and behavior informs this anthology, which draws from diverse voices to highlight universal truths through humor.

More Quotes, Jokes, and Anecdotes appeals to anyone who values intelligent humour and timeless observation. It works as a personal read, a conversation starter, or a gift for the reader in your life who already thinks they’ve heard it all. The book will be available soon through major online retailers and other channels.
