If you like the Carlin of late...
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
George Carlin went through an very noticeable evolution as a comic. The comic in his latter days is the comic of this book. If you remember him as the Hippy Dippy Weatherman, then this is not the same comic. Brain Droppings is a book of comic observations of the stupid things humans do and say and Carlin has no sympathy for us a a species.
What about George Carlin’s performance did you like?
Carlin performs the reading of the book with the same style and well practiced performance that you would see when attending a live standup performance.(Which I was lucky enough to experience once.) The show I saw live was repeated verbatim a few months later on HBO.

Kratchety Uncle George
Would you listen to Brain Droppings again? Why?
i listen again and again. i share his raunchy sense of humor.
What other book might you compare Brain Droppings to and why?
Napalm & Silly Putty I & 2. He has a great balance between 'righteous ranting' and 'raunchy humor'. George was a genius. i miss him.

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.

Clever
An interesting view on todays use of language and new perspectives on both the big amd small social trends and issues in our society. All of this presented in a humorous manner.

Hilariously intelligent!
A brilliant and very funny read. Caution: requires a certain degree of self-deprecating.

Good Job George
George Carlin has done it again. He sees things from different eyes and minds then most people. I like his perspective and his comedy. Once again he has made this reader think and laugh constantly.
