By SUSAN LYDON |

Tired of cramming for midterms and poring over those boring textbooks? Well, during this fall break why not read a book about nothing? SeinLanguage, (Bantam Books, NY, 1993), is a best-selling book penned by the star of the much beloved television show about nothing - none other than Jerry Seinfeld. With more than 1.2 million copies in print, the book was the third best-selling non-fiction hardcover title published in 1993, staying on the New York Times best-seller list for 33 weeks. In his book, Seinfeld vividly portrays a myriad of topics, subjects and daily situations in life with his characteristic wit and humor. He offers his opinion on absolutely everything that irks him in life. Shower radios bother him: "Somebody just gave me a shower radio. Thanks a lot. Do you really want music in the shower? I guess there's no better place to dance than a slick surface next to a glass door." Cooking shows are also an antagonist: "I will never understand why they cook on TV. I can't smell it. Can't eat it. Can't taste it. At the end ofthe show they hold it up to the camera, `Well, here it is. You can't have any. Thanks for watching. Good-bye.' " Ranging from relationship problems to shushing in movie theaters, the material that Seinfeld covers is amusing and true to life. SeinLanguage is uplifting reading that will keep you laughing from start to finish.
So if you're looking for some mindless vaction reading, or just suffering from
a lack of marble rye tosses and militant soup sellers, SeinLanguage is
the book to read. It's guaranteed to be more entertaining than your chemistry
book.
