 The #1 New York Times bestseller with more than 450,000 copies in print offers up a hilarious and "entertaining" [Chicago Sun-Times] collection of razor-sharp observations -- now available in paperback!Spending more than 15 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in hardcover, George Carlin, the thinking person's comic, has made it very clear how successful he is at the transition from stage to page. In Napalm & Silly Putty, Carlin's characteristically ironic and hilarious take on life shines through. He asks:How can it be a spy satellite if they announce on TV that it's a spy satellite?Why do they bother saying "raw sewage"?Do some people cook that stuff?In the expression "topsy-turvy," what exactly is meant by "turvy"?   less

Another quick read during my boring ass days at work. I read it superfast and like some of his quotes but didn't dwell too deeply into them. Now that he's gone I definitely will do a second run-through to appreciate it more and check out his other books.

George Carlin, may he rest in peace, was one hell of a comedian! He was sick of everything! and he was constantly cussing his ass off! But, man, was he lovable!
I've read all of his books, and watched just about all his performances on DVD! This man, will have you in stitches all through! Best stand-up comic of all time, if you ask me!
Definitely worth your time!

I read this in two days over Christmas break(thanks for the cool book, mom).  I think I was 15.  I think it'll probably be better if I reread it.  Drugs and sex have entered my life and thusly my viewpoint has probably changed.
