it's a belter. was forced to read it at school and only realised just how incredible it is when i re-read it years later.

it surprises me, but pleases me, that hollywood hasn't dragged it back to the big screen lately.

ok i am now confused which book is what. anyway danny wallace has a less interesting name.

Ok, so maybe Danny Wallace got his idea from the "fuck, YES!" book...Danny's was written in 2006, Wing F. Fing ( ) wrote his in 1988.
I still recommend reading it, even if it has nothing to do with the Jim Carrey movie.

i think i read the book that became the jim carrey movie, it's a british comedian called danny wallace. it was a fun book, but jealousy prevented me enjoying it.

forgive me if this is all irrelevant, but i think it's the same book.

I thought you'd be after Dave Gorman's ex-flat mate, Danny Wallace! I've not read The Yes Man, but Join Me is an incredible book.

This is an interview with Danny Wallace, a guy who decided to see how easy it would be to officially set up his own country. It was made into a series on the BBC and it was brilliant. He also wrote 2 books - The Yes Man and Join Me, both really really funny.

Read them.

Danny Wallace's next show does not feature him recruiting people for once; unless it's a secret army of monkeys!

Bloody Hell - he did a song to go with the book & TV show? Oh, I don't know: Danny Wallace & his Join Me / Join My Country malarky... I bet the banjo sealed its submission to the Sift for you!
