    In the mid-70s, Steve Martin exploded onto the comedy scene. By 1978 he was the biggest concert draw in the history of stand-up. In 1981 he quit forever. Born Standing Up is, in his own words, the story of "why I did stand-up and why I walked away".

    This is an excellent book and Steve Martin's narration makes you feel like you're in his living room listening to him tell his story to you personally. I loved it!

    Story

    In 2001, General Motors hired Bob Lutz out of retirement with a mandate to save the company by making great cars again. He launched a war against penny pinching, office politics, turf wars, and risk avoidance. After declaring bankruptcy during the recession of 2008, GM is back on track thanks to its embrace of Lutz's philosophy. When Lutz got into the auto business in the early sixties, CEOs knew that if you captured the public's imagination with great cars, the money would follow.

    What would have made Car Guys vs. Bean Counters better?

    The radical right wing ranting of this book made it unbearable. I bought this book because I am interested in cars. I turned it off because the political ranting got to be too much. I can handle a little difference of opinion if it doesn't get in the way of a good book (P.J. O'Rourke), but this was WAY too much.


    What about Norman Dietz???s performance did you like?

    The reader is good. No problem there.


    You didn???t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    Didn't get far enough to know.

    After a decade spent in isolation in the Ugandan jungles thinking about stuff, David Cross has written his first book. Known for roles on the small screen such as "never-nude" Tobias Funke on Arrested Development and the role of "David" in Mr. Show with Bob And David, as well as a hugely successful stand-up routine full of sharp-tongued rants and rages, Cross has carved out his place in American comedy.

    Nikki says: "Hilarious but a little preachy"

    Very smart. Very funny. (skip the musical interlude in the middle. It's beyond boring and it's inaudible)
