review 1: I wished that I had liked this more, because it's pretty much a who's who of the comics who have helped to shape my sense of humor, and occasionally, my worldview. Carlin, Billy Connolly, The Kids in the Hall, Marc Maron, and plenty of others.But there's not a lot of depth to the interviews, and they tend to get repetitive after a while.Worth a read, but I don't know that I'd come back to it.
review 2: I'm less than 100 pages into this and it's already blowing my mind. I'm having a great time reading comedy-related non-fiction right now. If you've got a recommendation for something in that vein, please send it my way.*EDIT* I've finished reading Satiristas now and I'm convinced I'll have to buy a copy. (Got this one from the library.) It's like a compendium of ... morereasons to stick to your guns, speak boldly and trust that your audience will gravitate to you. The inspirational value of this book made "Outliers" look like a booger collection. less
