George Carlin Reads to You
Great comedy and a good deal, this new gift set gathers three timeless Carlin recordings including two Grammy(R) winners.
If one George Carlin audio is funny, then two are funnier and three must be funniest, right? That's our thinking behind this new collection. It's a HighBridge library of laugh-out-loud, award-winning recordings featuring George himself performing many o...more

This includes an abridged version of Napalm and Silly Putty, More Napalm and Silly Putty, and Brain Droppings. Frankly, there is a lot of recycled material here and a lot of George's humor is very vulgar. That said, with this being an audio book I really felt like I was getting a big bang for my buck. It was like getting to hear hours of George Carlin's comedy routines for the cost of one book.
If it's not clear from the title (and it wasn't to me), this is a highly edited version of the Brain Droppings Audiobook. I have no intention of finishing this book. The funniest joke in the first three tracks was "If drumsticks are for playing drums, wouldn't you think that breadsticks are for playing bread?" Yes, that one had me hooting.
You'll chuckle at the best bits (which are usually from his actual standup), but roll your eyes through the hundreds of tedious, pedantic observations. Often more annoying than funny.

I listened to this 6-CD set (comprising 3 books) while driving back and forth to work. There are a number of witticisms, though too much language for my taste.
Highly enjoyable. It makes me forget I am in the middle of working out. Now that is high praise!
