This book was hilarious! Colbert shows just the most extreme points of view on about 15 different topics (Sex, Gays, Religion....)

I love his show, and his book was awesome. You know how he does "The Word" thing on his show? Well, he does the same kind of thing in his book, with hundreds of footnotes and sidenotes on all the pages in the book.

And the cover art is awesome, with typos on the back page and the only description about him is "Stephen Colbert is America!"

Just thought I'd pass that along, in the rarely read Lit section of Shamoozal.

That's a great book. It's one of those books that I needed to let friends and family borrow it so they could enjoy. The footnotes are often hilarious, and they make it a surprisingly dense book.

I read half of it last year and loved it but felt bad because I borrow it from a friend, which he states in the few first pages is horrible.

Stephen Colbert is god... or at least that's how he feels about it.
