I have yet to meet a person that doesn't like the Colbert report, and for a good reason. Anyone who has yet to watch it should stop reading this blog now, and start watching it. Even in precalc. Especially in precalc.
So when I found out that he had written a book that was available in the library (thank god for nobody actually using it), I had to get it. And such, I will now be reading...

Stephen Colbert- I Am America (And So Can You!)
Just look at the groundbreaking statement Colbert is saying here. He is America. Everything you do in your life is just part of the muscle/nervous/other system of Colbert. Illegal immigrants are viruses, and the border patrol is his immune system.
Without even reading, it is still obvious that this book is going to be hilarious. There is an award on the front that depicts a burning book. The "about the author" section is a picture drawn of him in the style of the hulk, with his description being "Stephen Colbert is America." And just look at the back cover:
Right off the bat, I can already tell that this is going to be good. Sure enough, I decided to start reading, and it gets even funnier. He opens with lines such as "I shouted [this book] into a tape recorder over the Columbus day weekend, then handed it to my agent and said, 'sell this.'" and "Men were men, women were women, and gays were 'confirmed bachelors.'" Overall, this is looking to be a hilarious read and a book that I will surely enjoy.
John,
ReplyDeleteI am happy to say that, like you, I thoroughly enjoy The Colbert Report. I think this is truly a fantastic book to read, and I'm glad our school had the sense to put a copy in the library! I am looking forward to reading your posts about this book, and hearing not only your opinions, but also the best quotes and opinions from Colbert himself. Have fun!
This book seems like a very interesting read and you have convinced me to put it on my list of books I want to read. Stephen Colbert is very funny and this book seems to show his personality very well. After the group discussion we had in class today, as well as your blog post this book just seems like such a fun book to read.
