1: George Carlin
It is so much funnier to listen to George read his own books, because he puts on all these different characters. I couldn't stop laughing about what he was talking about. He is so thought provoking. I love George Carlin!

2: The Funniest Man In America
Enough has been said about this great man - if he was running for President my wife would be forcibly made to vote for him.
Me - I'm a Brit and miss this style of real humour
Cheers

3: Still angry and unrepentant
I have been a Carlin fan since the hippy dippy weatherman days. The fact that he tells you up front that "I will read to you but you'll have to get someone else to understand it for you" is just the best. If you can't laugh at yourself don't listen to this CD. His wit and perspectives are not for the faint of heart or the tight of ass. I met Mr. Carlin several years ago going into a Ruby Tuesday resturant on the beach in Biloxi. He graciously gave me fifteen minutes of his time and was tremendously kind to listen to me rant about how much his humor has meant to me over the years. I love his body of work and I loved these three books on CD. A big thumbs up or at least one those fingers way up!

5: AS PROFOUND AND PROFANE AS EVER
Stand-up comedian George Carlin (he of the oblique life commentary and not-for-tender-ears vocabulary) has penned three books ("Brain Droppings", "Napalm & Silly Putty", and "More Napalm & Silly Putty".) Each is rife with his wry, absurdist comments and musings about the world around him. Now, bits and bitters from this trio of laughs is gathered into 7.5 hours of hilarity read, of course, by the man himself.
Although Carlin has been doing his schtick for almost fifty years there's no evidence of age about him. His delivery is as on target as ever and, truly, it's in the delivery that Carlin excels, whether he's observing the popularity of names, noting that nursing homes will one day be populated by Debbies and Tiffanys or doing his vaunted riff on oxymorons - death benefits, close proximity, etc. One cannot fathom how his brain operates as apparently unrelated thoughts come rolling forth leaving listeners guffawing and nodding their heads.
His voice may be a bit raspier but his timing is to the nano second. Listen and laugh.
