Ed Hahn (USA: MT) (2009/03/05): I almost OD'd on Carlin. While I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed "Brain Droppings" more. The humor was not as sharp and the format of one long rant followed by two or three pages of one-liners became predictable and almost but not quite boring. I think reading this book from front to back was a mistake: far better to dip in and out as the need for release from the ridiculousness of day to day life is necessary. All of this does not mean I don't recommend the book, just that it requires a different approach to gain maximum enjoyment.
