A Book in Review – I Am America (And so Can You!)

Book Count: 8

I Am America (And so Can You!) By: Stephen Colbert
Non-Fiction: Humor, etc. 228 pages 2007

This book was written by Stephen Colbert the character not Stephen Colbert the actor. If you don’t think that that is an important difference then look it up at Wikipedia; two different people, which according to Stephen Colbert the character makes it true. (The people have spoken!) If that made no sense to you because you don’t watch The Colbert Report then this is not the book for you. It was written for members of the “Colbert Nation” (People who love the show) as something for them to do when not watching The Colbert Report, getting things named after Stephen Colbert, buying things off his web site, defending themselves from bears and the pro-bear agenda and what ever else he tells them to do on his show. Amazingly, unlike the other humor book written by a comedian that I read this year, this book is like watching an episode of the show. (Amazingness do to the fact the Colbert the character hates book and reading. Like watching TV as sometimes he says the exact same things on TV.) So, if you like the humor of The Colbert Report or somehow think it is not meant to be funny, but still like it, then this book is for you.
