From Amazon.com
George Carlin's been working the crowd since "the counterculture" became "the over-the-counter culture" around 1967 or so; his new book, IBrain Droppings/I, surfs on three decades of touring-in-support. It's the purest version of book-as-candy that one could imagine, serving up humor in convenient, bite-sized packages. Snack on chewy one-liners like "A meltdown sounds like fun. Like some kind of cheese sandwich." Or: "If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten." IBrain Droppings/I also contains highlights from Carlin's concert repertoire, and that more than makes up for the occasional spray of pointless nihilism. Tell us, George, what exactly were you going for with "Kill your pet" and "Satan is cool"? Quick--hide the paper before Daddy sees it! Still, if you're a fan of this sarcastic semanticist who's given Bad Attitude not necessarily a good name, but at least a comfy bank account, by all means rush out and snag IBrain Droppings/I. Carlin's book melts in your mind, not in your hand.

If I could have lunch with ANYONE.... July 8, 2004
Skye Viajante (Napa, CA United States)
It would be George Carlin. I could just sit back and listen to him go on forever.brOnly drawback to this book was that every so often there was these pages where random thoughts were stuck in...didnt dig those to much...but hey, its George.
 Really Great Book June 2, 2004
This book is real fun to read, at worst it's clever at best it's genius. I read 120 pages the day it came, to give you an idea of the entertainment value of the book. Carlin is a great comedian, to me the best of all time next to Richard Pryor, and he does a good job on this book. I'll probably start his second book Napalm and Silly Putty soon, and his third book When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops when it comes out. Have fun with this book, that's what it's for, but it also has many insights and interesting ideas we can all appreciate.
 There's no fool like an old fool May 27, 2004
What exactly does an old millionaire have to whine about? This book, which I acquired for nothing, unfunnily tries to answer this timeless question. Occasional clever Carlin quips are offset by pages of venemous, unfunny rants. One good grouch deserves another: The covers of this book are too far apart. --Ambrose Bierce
Is George the Funniest Man Alive? April 18, 2004
Chris Frost (Ingalls, IN United States)
Quite possibly he is. He is certainly different from most other comics, and he will be the first to admit it, without apologizing for it. This is part of what makes him so good. It's not just the same old stuff reworded to get a chuckle out of you. George has clearly done some thinking about things and will challenge you to think about things, too. While it all may be couched in terms of humor, the genius of George Carlin will really make you wonder why things are the way they are, and then realize that there's really nothing you can do about it except have fun and laugh at it.
Gut bustingly funny April 5, 2004
lulu (San Francisco, CA, USA)
I have read and reread this book one thousand times, and it stays just as funny each time. George Carlin is a crazed genius. He should be president. It would be such fun.
