With nearly 20 albums, two Grammys, two Cable ACE awards, and more HBO specials than anyone else, George Carlin is more popular than ever. Now, for the first time, Carlin has produced a book of original humor pieces. "Brain Droppings" is filled with Carlin's musings, questions, lists, beliefs, curiosities, monologues, assertions, assumptions, and other verbal ordeals, including his popular oxymorons (i.e. "original copy"; "uninvited guest").
Industry Reviews "Avoiding the tired formulas of TV comics-turned-authors, pioneer stand-up comedian George Carlin writes an inventively outrageous book that is as intelligent as it is hilarious. His three sources for material--the English language, the 'little world: driving, food, pets' and the 'big world: war, politics, race'--provide plenty of grist for his sardonic, outlandish wit." San Francisco Book Review - Pat Walsh (05/18/1997)
