Jerry Seinfeld’s career has been built on clever insights into the human psyche. And it might surprise you, but none of his analyzations have gone to waste. Since his first performance at a New York nightclub as a twenty-one-year-old college student, Seinfeld has saved everything he's ever written. And nearly all of it is presented in his new book, Is This Anything?

At just-over 450 pages, the epic compilation contains the best jokes he's written in his 45-year stand-up comedy career. The collection is split into five sections, with jokes arranged by decade that span from the '70s to now. It's all the piercing observations about work, relationships and everyday annoyances that we've come to expect from Seinfeld. And couldn't we all use a few laughs these days?

Your Pairing:

I don't know what Seinfeld drinks when he wants to imbibe, but I do know that the man appreciates a good cup of coffee. “I love when coffee gets poured into a cup, because there's really nothing else like that,” Seinfeld told Food & Wine. And I know just what he means; that rush of aroma and swirl of steam hovering over your cup. Lately, I've been drinking Bixby Roasting Co.'s Tail Waggin' blend and it's made my mornings (and often my afternoons) a whole lot better. The combination of Costa Rican, Colombian and Kona beans makes for a satisfying light roast with a hint of caramel sweetness.
