I am America (and so can you)
Has anyone else read this masterpiece? It's by Stephen Colbert and I love it. I read every night and rarely find myself laughing out loud. This book has me laughing at least once or twice per night. If you enjoy Colbert at all, the book is hilarious. I got the book from the library (on a side note, the Fairfax county library system is amazing) and will be ordering this book for my collection.

Re: I am America (and so can you)
I read it, it started out good then it went all down hill. The book/jokes never evolved...it was a very painful experience.

Re: I am America (and so can you)
I thought his column in the NY Times was both shorter and funnier than the book.

The Colbert Report is one of my favorite shows. He's hilarious.

Re: I am America (and so can you)
the other week when I had my Lasik surgery I bought this as an audiobook off of iTunes. I have to agree with others who've said it started off great but kind of tailed off at the end.

All that said, I've always felt I'd be very disappointed by their books so I've never read them Has anyone ever seen Colbert's roast of Chevy Chase? Brilliant
