The best things said about it
Best book I've ever received as a gift, I've got it here. And for those who can actually see this, I am holding up a Alice's Adventures in Wonderland from the 19th century, but not a first edition, alas.
Matt Haig The Book Review · May 2026 It's one of the great examples of absurdus literature, it's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
I wonder if Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is in again in a very different way suited to an audio recording because so much of it is word play and poetry.
One of my favorite quotes is from 'Alice in Wonderland,' where the Cheshire Cat says, 'If you don't know where you're going, it doesn't matter which path you take.'.
Lex Fridman Lex Fridman Podcast · Oct 2023 There's this old, there's this line in Ellis in Wonderland when Ellis goes down the rabbit hole underneath the structure of things, and she meets the Red Queen down there. The Red Queen is basically Mother Nature.

Why people recommend it
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is a classic nineteenth-century children's novel about a young girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantastical realm populated by peculiar creatures and nonsensical rules. On The Tim Ferriss Show, Tim Ferriss recommended reading the entire book just for its memorable quotes. Pamela Paul reiterated audiobook details on The Book Review, while Laura Miller discussed Scarlett Johansson's audiobook narration on the same podcast, noting how it makes the classic text sound different from what most listeners expect. The book also appeared in various discussions: Bill Burr read a listener email on Monday Morning Podcast about being confused by a phrase in chapter eight, and Matt Haig shared a cherished nineteenth-century family gift copy of the novel on The Book Review. Stephen Dubner brought up the book on Freakonomics Radio when discussing arbitrary rules with guest Louisa Thomas, and Sarah Lyall introduced Richard E. Grant on The Book Review to discuss it as one of the great examples of absurd literature. Additionally, Tina Jordan discussed historical negative reviews from the New York Times archives on the same review show. Across multiple episodes, hosts and guests engaged with Carroll's enduring masterpiece both as a cherished childhood memory and as a frequent touchstone for literary absurdity and playful linguistic confusion.
