Lots of folks are probably suffering symptoms of Colbert-withdrawal due to the sudden -- and unexplained suspension of the Colbert Report's taping. The Washington Post noted: Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” suddenly canceled taping Wednesday night, telling ticket holders that episodes of the show for the rest of the week had been scrapped due to “unforeseen circumstances.”

Meanwhile, here are some suggestions of comic dystopia to keep you busy:

-- "I Am America (And So Can You!)" which began to forkm the manifesto for Colbert's preidential campaign.

-- "The Onion Presents: Love, Sex, and Other Natural Disasters: Relationship Reporting from America's Finest News Source" by the staff of The Onion.

-- "Super Sad True Love Story: A Novel" by Gary Shteyngart.
