From Angry Humor on Stage to the New York Times' Best Seller's List

Whenever I'm asked who makes me laugh or who would I pay to see (on stage, yes I'm talking about stand-up comedy), I'd always say Lewis Black because Carlos Mencia is an overrated patriotic (and usually unfunny) prick. Black's angry humor accompanied by witty banters from the American economy, to politics, to how his parents' marriage survived over the decades never seized to amaze me every single time I watch him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart or whenever I catch him on TV. So When I found out he had a couple books published, I immediately researched about said books and ordered them.

The first one is Nothing's Sacred, Lewis Black's autobiography that accounts Lewis' disregard for authority, his education and past escapades and his perspectives on today's current issues and real life events. This short-read (yes, it's not that long) had me glued because of the mixture of wit and in-your-face humor that has been a trademark of Lewis Black through the years. That's why I can't wait to finish this so that I could start his other book, Me of Little Faith.
