Publisher Description

He was the inventor of Past-Tense TV (featuring Got Smart, Father Knew Best, and It Was Left to Beaver); the tireless crusader for such charities as the Center for Research into the Heebie Jeebies, Children of Parents with Bad Teeth, and the State Hospital for Those Who Felt All Right About a Year Ago; founder of the George Carlin Book Club (top titles: How to Act Laid-Back During a Grease Fire, Fill Your Life with Croutons, and The Meaning of Corn); and the only social commentator with the guts to point out that the day after tomorrow is the third day of the rest of your life.

Yes, George Carlin is here with more of what he did better than any other comic: uproarious observations, laser-targeted crankiness, linguistic legerdemain, and inspired weirdness. (If the shoe fits, get another just like it. When you sneeze, all the numbers in your head go up by one.) Napalm & Silly Putty is just what his fans have been waiting for - another generous helping of notions, nonsense, assertions, assumptions, mockery, merriment, silliness, sarcasm, and, to be sure, plenty of disturbing references and toxic alienation. George wouldn't have it any other way.

"This book is George Carlin's stream of consciousness. There are some fantastic nuggets in here like George Carlin Book titles, "How to Fillet a Panda," or "Daddy drinks because you cry," and other bizarre yet hilarious anecdotes."

    " It's fitting that I read/reread Carlin's three books recently. The first is the best, though that may be largely because there is some repitition between the three volumes, which is a little annoying. Still, Carlin's best to see/hear rather than read. The delivery just enhances it. "

    " Unfortunately I think George found it more difficult to mine old routines or come up with pithy sayings for his books, so after "Brain Droppings" I think the laughs and insights give way to grumpiness and cantankerous writing. There are still a few gems here and there, but not a strong effort. "

    " If you like his stand up comedy you'd like this. It reads exactly the same as his stand up verbatim. It would be easier to just actually watch the stand up as you get to see his mannerisms as well. "

    " I read this book on my Kindle during my commutes to the New Campus. I laughed out loud a lot - which drew a lot of quizzical glances at the pages of obscenities appearing on the screen. "

    " George Carlin is funny funny funny! His honesty is scathing and I certainly winced a couple of times, but still funny. This book is filled with lots of wisdom, and a lot of silliness. A fun read! "
