Publisher's summary

Let's be honest - nobody has more fun than atheists. Don’t believe it? Well, consider this: For nonbelievers, every day you’re alive is a day to celebrate! And no one celebrates life to the fullest like Penn Jillette - the larger, louder half of legendary magic duo Penn & Teller - whose spectacularly witty and sharply observant essays in Every Day Is an Atheist Holiday! will entertain zealots and skeptics alike.

Whether he's contemplating the possibility of life after death, deconstructing popular Christmas carols, or just calling bullsh*t on Donald Trump's apprentice training, Jillette does not fail to shock and delight his fans. And as ever, underneath these rollicking rants lie a deeply personal philosophy and a generous spirit, which find joy and meaning in family, and peace in the simple beauty of the everyday.

Every Day Is an Atheist Holiday! is a hysterical affirmation of life's magic from one of the most distinctly perceptive and provocative humorists writing today.

His deep respect for Teller & unending love of his family.

Good buy!

Awesome, I enjoyed this audio book. I couldn't put it down. My god 15 characters.

Fantastic!

I had Penn's previous book "God, No" and this was basically a continuation. Engaging stories, wildly entertaining and all around great.

not preachy, not blow-hardy, just straight up from Penn's mind to your ears.

GREAT book. Loved loved loved it

This book has filled me with hope and joy!

I love the stories and the ideas thank you for being so Incredible

Magically yours American Atheist.

Like listening to a conversation.

Although I like Penn as an entertainer, I as skeptical about getting one of his books. I couldn't have been more wrong. This is a "have a seat by the campfire, grab a beer, I got some stories to tell you. You won't believe what happened..." Type of book. Worth it and worth it a second time.

About what you'd expect from P&T.

it's really just Penn's autobiography which I expected. The reading is also done by Penn Jillette. Overall it's a good story but I can't say it was one of the funniest books I've ever listened to. There has to be funnier out there. It's a decent listen and there's not a lot of surprises or interesting passages. Do yourself a favor and find a better listen.

I Laughed; I Cried

The funniest book I’ve ever read… well read to anyhow. I felt like Penn was talking directly to me. Sitting across from me waxing on about the most important things in his life. Family, Teller, and genuinely being a caring person on this planet. Can’t wait to read the next of his books.

If you're a Penn Jillette Fan you'll love it.

Would you listen to Every Day is an Atheist Holiday! again? Why?

No. No fault of the book, I just never re-read, re-watch, or re-listen to anything other than music.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

I enjoyed Penn narriting his own work.

What does Penn Jillette bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His own attitude.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

Penn was black mailed?!? WTF.

Any additional comments?

over-all an enjoyable listen, I LOLed more than once.

Not what I thought...

What did you love best about Every Day is an Atheist Holiday!?

The Honesty and the fact that Penn does the reading. He is great to listen too with his rough carny voice and passion for what he believes in.

What did you like best about this story?

With Atheist in the title I expected Penn to go on one of his tirades with regards to the illogic of religion, which he does, but not as overtly as expected. He basically tells stories... and relates them to reality and religion. And ne'er the twain shall meet. He is abrasive and vulgar (which is OK with me).

What does Penn Jillette bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He passion for the stories he is telling in the book.
