The eagerly awaited new audiobook from the Emmy-winning, Oscar-hosting, Daily Show-anchoring Jon Stewart - the man behind the mega seller America (The Book). Where do we come from? Who created us? Why are we here? These questions have puzzled us since the dawn of time, but when it became apparent to Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show that the world was about to end, they embarked on a massive mission to write a book that summed up the human race.

Do you miss Jon Stewart? Then look no further. This is definitely the old style the Daily Show used to present as so it's a nice blast from the past. Get America, too!

In this collector's companion, you will discover never-before-seen photographs, never-before-told stories, and never-before-revealed secrets spanning all three seasons of the hilariously twisted, critically acclaimed hit series. You will encounter original concept art, annotated script excerpts, and interviews with the creative team and all-star cast, as well as glossaries, recipes, lyric sheets, hidden Easter eggs, shocking backstories, and suspicious pages from the titular tome, unredacted and revealed here for the first time.

I love Robert Petkoff's voice and have been listening to a lot of books that happen to have him as a narrator, mostly political books, mostly from reputable sources so his voice feels trustworthy. This made this book even more enjoyable for me.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

John Lithgow is a genius, but we all knew that. Whether you were introduced to him via third rock from the sun, or his many many serious roles, John never ceases to amaze and this is just an extension of that.
The audio book version and the print copy, in my humble opinion, are both necessary to enjoy the book fully.
If you pick up the print version, you are missing out on John's witty delivery, and if you pick up the audio book only, you'll miss out on that amazing illustrations.
Fun for the whole family.

In this long-awaited and candid memoir, Hitchens re-traces the footsteps of his life to date, from his childhood in Portsmouth, with his adoring, tragic mother and reserved Naval officer father; to his life in Washington DC, the base from which from he would launch fierce attacks on tyranny of all kinds. Along the way, he recalls the girls, boys and booze; the friendships and the feuds; the grand struggles and lost causes; and the mistakes and misgivings that have characterised his life.

In a world full to bursting with would-be heroes, Jim couldn't be less interested in saving the day. His fireballs fizzle. He's awfully grumpy. Plus, he's been dead for about 60 years. When a renegade necromancer wrenches him from eternal slumber and into a world gone terribly, bizarrely wrong, all Jim wants is to find a way to die properly, once and for all. On his side, he's got a few shambling corpses, an inept thief, and a powerful death wish. But he's up against tough odds....

The climax of this book, or at least the turning point towards the end is revealed in different morphous if you pay attention. so sadly, I ruined it for myself but it was still a great story, and better than Jam.

this autobiography feels way more complete than John's. though I do like 'So anyway' I felt it mostly focused on the pre-python days an ends as the pyhtons take off, but I wanted to know what happened afterwards, and this sortabiography did the trick.

A magical serial killer is on the loose, and gelatinous, otherworldly creatures are infesting the English countryside. Which is making life for the Ministry of Occultism difficult, because magic is supposed to be their best kept secret. After centuries in the shadows, the Ministry is forced to unmask, exposing the country's magical history - and magical citizens - to a brave new world of social media, government scrutiny, and public relations.

I found this book entertaining on the surface but below, I found a very interesting take on how culture shifts affect old systems, the rise and fall of those systems and the response of the public. A great listen for sure.
