Format:Taschenbuch
Im wesentlichen geht es in den 3 bisher erschienenen Comicsammlungen um das Leben der Studenten (Doktoranden) an der USAuni. Im stetigen Kampf gegen Ablenkungen (OH- eine Spinne frisst eine Schabe - viel interessanter als meine Doktorarbeit/das Referat/das Paper das in 5 Minuten fertig sein muss), der Beschaffung von Essen und den zwischenmenschlichen Problemen bringen die Protagonisten den Leser zum Schmunzeln.
Kurzweilig für zwischendurch, wenn auch nur in SW.

Precious Procrastination
12. Juli 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Grad students! Are you working too hard? This comic strip collection can help.
"Piled Higher and Deeper" ("PhD") is the first collection of strips of the legendary webcomic of the same name, written (and published) by Jorge Cham of Stanford University. This volume contains comics from roughly 1997 - 2002, including classics such as
--The Grad Student Documentary ("Having feasted, the grad student enters a lethargic state called "researching", in anticipation of the next free meal.")
--What is... the Thesis ("Is it so hard to believe? That grad school isn't real?")
--Post-Bachelor's Disorder ("Do you experience frequent headaches trying to count how many years you've been in school?")
--The High School Renunion ("Um... well... I... I'm still in school...")
and many others. From the first crudely drawn sketches of cramped classrooms and quals to the later, well-drawn strips of research and conferences, "PhD" never fails to entertain. Some of the humor may be dark and depressing, but that just makes it more realistic, and all the more potent.
If you don't believe that a grad student comic strip could possibly be so good, feel free to check out the strip's website, [...], where all of these strips are available for free. (But be warned - reading the entire archive could be hazardous to your research, and once you start, it's hard to stop...) Why buy the book when all its content is available free online? For one thing, to thank Jorge for all the hours of procrastination that he has so kindly provided. For another, to have access to the comics even when you're away from your compu... ok, never mind. The first reason is more than good enough by itself.
Even though "PhD" focuses on engineering, grad students in all fields should find it equally entertaining. And of course, grad students are not the only people who can appreciate this volume - former grad students and future grad students will almost certainly enjoy it as well. All grad students past, present and future should purchase this first "Piled Higher and Deeper" collection (or better yet, have it purchased for them) without delay.

The second funniest piece of text I have read lately
18. September 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
I especially suggest this book to people thinking about taking the PhD route. Read it before making a decision. Twice. Then, if you decide to go for it anyways, don't come crying to me when you finally realize that the thing you call your daily life is actually the raw material for one of the funniest comic strips around. And, believe me when I say Jorge is a funny guy but he doesn't really exaggerate that much, which makes the whole book more funny ( and kinda sad, too ). In any case, this is the second funniest thing I have read during the last couple of years. So, get it!
Oh, curious about the funniest thing? My lame attempts at writing drafts for my thesis introduction, of course, what else?

Graduate student life is not an oxymoron
22. März 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a unique collection of hilarious comic strips about graduate school life drawn by Jorge Cham, a genuine PhD student at Stanford University. Anyone who has ever been or known a graduate student struggling towards the completion of his or her thesis will recognize and appreciate the characters and scenarios herein. And although there are a number of inside jokes, and knowing the real-life inspirations for some of the characters certainly added to my personal enjoyment, most of the strips reflect the universal absurdities of the grad school experience rather than being specific to Stanford students. Highly recommended!
