Download Age and Guile Beat Youth, Innocence, and a Bad Haircut Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A lot of filler, but a few suitably rip-roaring moment nevertheless. "

" has one truly hysterical essay "

" i loved this book. it had everything from his early stuff to his late stuff, and everything in between. true, there were some repeats, but that was fine with me. "

" Before ego, cigar, still pompous. "

" How a crazy pinko communist became a crazy conservative libertarian and remained incredibly funny throughout. Love it. "

" A selection of his speeches/columns. Very good, though. "

" this is a collection of various articles, short stories and essays written by mr. o'rourke's throughout his career. he does an excellent job of tying his humor into various geopolitical events. "

" Not PJ's best book, but great essays from his past. It's funny to read through his essays and watch his transformation from a dirty unwashed hippy left winger into a clean cut yuppy right winger throughout the course of his years. "

" O'Rourke is a very funny writer, and most of his books are worth reading. I enjoyed parts of this book, but it is not his best work "

" Fun to read the transformation, though I almost didn't make through the early years. "

" Funny still as a collection of his older stuff and unpublished. "

" there should be more stars available... "

" It's amazing watching O'Rourke's transition from super leftwing hippie liberal to conservative republican through these essays. "

" I haven't read any PJ O'Rourke in a long time. I wonder if he has anything new out. "

" P.J. O'Rourke traces his path from liberal to libertarian by re-publishing short essays and articles from his college years on. It's great to watch his development as a writer and a commentator and it's great that he doesn't take himself too seriously. "

" I liked him better with the bad hair cut before he got too conservative to find anything nice to say. If you don't have anything nice to say...vote Republican, I guess. Still, the man can string some words together nicely. "

" Comes from the other end of the spectrum from me politically, but he is always worth a read. this is not as focussed as his other works due to its origins, nor is it as funny, but it does offer some insights into why he thinks the way he does. "

" Parts of this are hilarious, and it gives you a lot of insight into him, if you're interested. "

" "...and best of all, we had a case of dynamite". "

" his best work to my tastes. few people have lived such a life. "

" My favourite of his books. The piece "Why I Invaded Cambodia by Richard Milhous Nixon as told to PJ O'Rourke" is one of the funniest things I have ever read. "

" If you don't like P.J. O'Rourke, I don't know if we can be friends. "

" The stuff about cars and politics I could take or leave, but the essays about his lazy days as a hard drinking, dope smoking hippie are hysterical and worth the price of admission. "

" Included some early attempts of O'Rourke to write fiction. "

" If you're familiar with PJ, you'll like the diversity and uniqueness of his earlier work. If you're not, you'll enjoy one of his more recent works more. "

" This is one of my favorite books of all time. It's just a wonderful look into this very funny satirist's perspective of himself growing up. You see how he's lived as a lot of things, and how it's shaped him into who he is today.

Love this book. Can't say it enough. "

" I hate him, so that is where the love comes from.

And that sex story is GOOOOOooooood. "
