About the author

George Denis Patrick Carlin was a Grammy-winning American stand-up comedian, actor, author and philosopher.

Carlin was especially noted for his political and black humor and his observations on language, psychology, and religion along with many taboo subjects. Carlin and his "Seven Dirty Words" comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a narrow 5-4 decision by the justices affirmed the government's right to regulate Carlin's act on the public airwaves.

Carlin's mid-2000s stand-up routines focused on the flaws in modern-day America. He often took on contemporary political issues in the United States and satirized the excesses of American culture.

A disciple of Lenny Bruce, he placed second on the Comedy Central cable television network list of the 10 greatest stand-up comedians, ahead of Bruce and behind Richard Pryor. He was a frequent performer and guest host on The Tonight Show during the three-decade Johnny Carson era, and was also the first person to host Saturday Night Live.

The only way to read Carlin is by listening to an audio version of the book.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great classic of comedy from a legend, but it's so dated at this point that it's more like listening to an essay on tape. Some parts got me and I learned some things, but just doesn't hit the same decades later.

I was a class clown. I can relate. Seriously, George is one of the greats. Standup humor generally isn't as effective in print. George's humor is so universal and true to the human condition it works either way. If you like laughing at how ridiculous the human race can be, George is for you.

Compared to new works it's a bit dull, was good at some points but not many.
