Let's talk about I Am America. Great book or greatest book?
I keep rereading it, in a let the pages fall open and surprise me way. *sigh* I was expecting it to be good, but I wasn't expecting it to be as wonderful as it is.

I'm really excited for the IAA calendar that's coming out next year, because then it will help me memorize passages from the book (which I usually suck at doing)!
My teachers gave me the audiobook for chirstmas. It's sweet.

I read through it twice so far -- once the second I got it and once along with the audiobook. It's amazing...and I'm collecting clippings of book reviews...

It did win the Stephen T. Colbert Award for the Literary Excellence so I'm going to say that it is the Greatest book. Stephen T. Colbert certainly knows literary excellence when he encounters it.

Same here. I did listen to the audiobook, though. Good entertainment for the long drive to and from work.

I listened to the audiobook during my second read-through of the book.
Oh, and for an exercise in my Acting 1 class on Thursday, I have to bring in a one-minute piece to read. Not memorize, just read. I'm thinking of pulling something from IAA. Any ideas?

Same here. I'm half way through it. It's funny. I need to finish it so that I could lend it to a guy I work with. Maybe that will happen today.

Don't be ashamed! Just pick up the book and start reading it =) I have it withn arms reach at my computer desk so whenever I'm waiting for something to load or download, I can pop it up open and have a laugh =P
I'm not tired of reading it at all. I must have read it in it's entirety a few times and I've listened to the audiobook hundreds of times!
