I just passed the 1000 page mark on Les Mis, about 450 to go. It's marvelous.
I am also reading Satiristas. I don't agree with much of it, but it's always entertaining. Penn Jillette is a self-obsessed tunnel-visioned dick.
Don't agree with much of it? There's an underlying theme? I haven't read it, but have heard about it on all the comedians talking about comedy with comedians comedy podcasts, so I want to read it eventually.
The good points outweigh the silly ones about 3 to 1, but for comedians, many of these people are self-absorbed jerks who think the white hot light of truth shines out of their ass. Still, particularly the way the interviews flow structurally from one to another is very nicely worked out, as if all of these people were in one big room, and the next one to take a turn riffs on the previous comment.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's well worth your time, but the more self-important characters will stick with you long after you've forgotten many who made a few good points. Also, I don't know if I mentioned it, but Penn Jillette is a self-obsessed tunnel-visioned dick.
