Must read comics for any postgrad student
Jorge Cham's comics strip about graduate students has a big following on the web for the last 4 years. Finally he's published it in a book so we own it on our bookshelves. A very funny and witty view on postgraduate life. It always surprises me how similar grad school is even I'm half a world a away from the US.

Who needs PhD? Every science graduate student
A truly entertaining portrayal of graduate life. Anybody who's in grad school can find at least one strip (if not whole sections of the book) which fits them to a T. You find yourself laughing at just how true it is, and at the same time thinking it's all too warped to be real. I enjoyed every page!A word of caution -- this is a very effective procrastination tool and may inspire cynicism (but that's not bad, is it?...)

It's so great to be able to laugh at yourself!
Grad school is an INSANE adventure, but this book puts a funny twist on every aspect. I have shared this book (and Cham's website) with my advisor and fellow grad students. Everyone gets a kick out of it. Who knew that an engineering PhD student's life was so similiar to that of a clinical psychology PhD student? I thought we would have NOTHING in common!Thanke, Jorge! I am a HUGE fan.
