My Outside Reading Choice/Blog of the Week

The Last Testament: A Memoir by God by David Javerbaum looks hilarious. I was a little concerned with what the next book I was going to read, but I believe that this is it. I have been a regular viewer of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report since freshman year, so I am very excited to read this, but enough about me. Javerbaum seems like a great guy from this interview. I'm glad that he doesn't see his show as a news program. I particularly like what he says about people that strcitly watch the Daily Show for news, "If people are tuning into “The Daily Show” for news, it’s like an alcoholic drinking shampoo because there’s nothing else in the house." He believes that the show should only be seen as comedy and the only reason that it would be considered news is because of all the news programs that fail to deliver. 

The interview of Javerbaum is funny and insightful. It touches on the major aspects of the book and gets the reader excited.It got me excited at least. He talks about not only the book but also Javerbaums other job (Executive producer of the Daily Show). Javerbaum is funny but also speaks the truth in the interview. I can't wait for the book to come out November first. I will blog my thoughts as I read the book.
