Chapter 6: "I Am America (and So Can You!)" Stephen Colbert (the real review)

Alright, so after a week absence (in which I did work and then absolutely nothing) I decided to fix my last Saturday's post with something you can actually read and make sense of.

Stephen Colbert is awesome. This is the same sentiment I share with drunk-self, but it's true. The book is not like I'm reading, but more like I'm having a conversation with him. Or maybe more like I'm in a crowd listening. Either way, it makes for an interesting experience. The book is mostly humor, but there are bits of political info interspersed enough to make me feel smarter for reading it. It was a quick read, but the meat of the book isn't all there is, there are lots of little additions and bits of info, graphics, and it helps a little to extend the time you look at it.

All in all, I really enjoyed it, and after romances galore, I think it was a good refreshing book.
