Yes, I realize Amazon has reviews.

audible.com is running a special where you can download 1 free audio book, one of which is america: the book.

I am almost done with it, it is pretty funny, i learned some nasty things about canada as well :p Its not a dry..uh..."listen" either, as jon stewart reads the book himself, with regular correspondents of the show chiming in.

That should be posted as a hot deal.

I d/l'ed it from Audible. I thought it was moderately funny. It's more a history of American inaction and why the gov't is so fvcked up.

I liked Michael Moore's book more from a pure entertainment standpoint, although I recognize it as pure progoganda.

Can you tell that I'm left leaning? :)

jon stewart describes it as "a picture book" so an audible download might miss half the stuff so take the funny and give it quad damage

It reads just like the show so if you like the show the book is worth it. I got it at a mall bookstore for $18.

Isn't it amazing how partisan politics can destroy anything...even a simple little thread such as this.
