America Again, by Stephen Colbert

America Again: Re-Becoming the Greatness We Never Weren't, by Stephen Colbert, 240 pages

The title pretty much sets the tone for this follow-up book of political-based humor.  I thought this one was even funnier and better than Colbert's first book.  Whether Colbert is discussing food (he doesn't trust tapas- it promotes "gastro-socialism"), healthcare, the economy, or jobs, he proves that he has a team of very skilled and humorous writers.  Witty and well-produced.

I am America, by Stephen Colbert

I am America (and so can you), by Stephen Colbert, 230 pages

Funny man Stephen Colbert narrates this book in the voice of his trademark character, uber-conservative host of the Colbert Report.  Stephen offers over-the-top advice on family, sex, religion, race, and the American way of life. Not for the easily offended, this is a funny read with choice images (our nation's crotchety neighbors set to guard the borders) and clever turns of phrase ("lasagna-fueled catitude").  If you listen to the audiobook, narrated by the author, you'll also hear some performances by fellow funny types Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris.
