"Great humorists?" Decidedly. "Great humor"? Definitely mixed; I am decidedly getting jaded. I certainly am familiar with the artists, and I have been known to laugh, even. But I was hoping for great belly laughs of humor, and that was definitely not the case. I was probably expecting unreasonably too much which set me up for disappointment. Sigh. Probably entirely my own fault.

Didn't provide the gut busting humor expected

Would you try another book from the authors and/or the narrators?

Maybe. I'm looking for funny and laughter. Can't find much to laugh about doing cancer.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Am still looking.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

No real problem with narrator. Material just not that funny.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment.

Any additional comments?

Actually, I liked "1000 Years of Laughter" better, and it started with monk's riddles.

Sorry Dave. You have overdone boogers.
