Publisher's summary

The thinking person's comic who uses words as weapons, George Carlin shares all-new, cutting-edge opinion and observational humor in this best seller. Carlin demolishes everyday values and leaves you laughing out loud. Learn what he thinks of sports fans, how he would improve the TV networks, his suggestions for "Legal Murder Once a Month," and his plan for "World Peace Through Dancing." Performed by Carlin himself, and filled with thoughts, musings, questions, lists, beliefs, curiosities, monologues, assertions, assumptions, and other verbal ordeals, Brain Droppings is infectiously funny.

Looks like I'll still need to read the hardcopy

Good "broad strokes" version of the book. I need to read the hardcopy for the full treatment.

George Carlin is the best thing since sliced bread.

The one problem I really had with this title.
IT ENDED! I was never told this book would ever end. I would never have listened to this if I knew that would happen.

Was expecting not so much vulgarity, my mistake

Much prefer his YouTube stuff & his Johnny Carson appearances, as it was pretty clean & more funny. But I guess as the modern world de-evolved so did Carlin, but in a counter-culture way, which was probably pretty much required if he wished to stay relevant and make a living in a world as it was inverting into it's vulgar state. As Dr. Benjamin Franklin might note - "Carlin musta had something weird with aspects of Uranus and Saturn goin' on, and obviously something really strong about Aquarius in his chart." I only mention this as one of the more funnier aspects of the book is the section where Carlin talks about the zodiac signs. Now If your into the vulgar culture or submerged into the matrix of this current inverted world you'll probably enjoy the book, or at least 'HOPEFULLY" find it enlightening; of course you may have
to listen to some philosophy & spiritual books to find the hopeful and enlightening aspects...
listening to Carlin's opening monologue of the book will reveal why. And not sure how
this one slipped thru without the [parental Advisory Notice logo].... just an observation.

Funny

If you like George Carlin, you'll like this rather unorthodox book. But be warned: this is just a printed version of his HBO comedy specials. George is the only one who could read this work and make it funny...and he does it very well.

Real funny and mostly true!

I really enjoyed listening to George, he has a way of making understand that we don't have to be so! Serious about everything in life. Just try to enjoy it and don't be such a tight ass!
