I just read Steve Martin's memoir of his life/stand-up comedy years called Born Standing Up and I highly recommend it if you have any interest at all in comedy. He's a fantastic writer and the book deftly pulls you through Martin's life. Here's a bit from, it seems, 1979 that, as Fat Tony would say, cracks me consistently...up.

Things I Doubt: Ray Comfort & Kirk Cameron's ability to put together a decent argument...or a decent sandwich, for that matter; Oprah Winfrey's judgment about anything; Jenny McCarthy's anatomical conformity, by which I mean, I think she has neither a brain nor a heart; Jim Carrey's status as a Canadian - am I allowed to unilaterally decline that?; believers in acupuncture and their ability to accept that it is a fantasy; and the justness of a world where I am not rich for my truly amazing humor but Reality TV "stars" continue to rake in the cash.
You have reached the bottom of Heathen. Please look away as it can be unpleasant. Try the top again, it's nice up there.

I'm so glad you posted a review. I've been wanting to add this book to my library wait list. But...I wasn't really sure if it was good. :)
You're welcome! I'm here to help.
