If one George Carlin audio is funny, then two are funnier and three must be funniest, right? That's our thinking behind this new collection. It's a HighBridge library of laugh-out-loud, award-winning recordings featuring George himself performing many of his best bits. The set includes:

Brain Droppings
Acerbic observations, manic musings, in-your-face questions, witty word play, and more "droppings" from Carlin's singular brain. "I put a dollar in a change machine. Nothing changed." "Why are there no recreational drugs taken in suppository form?" The first Carlin book on audio and a 2001 Grammy winner.

Napalm & Silly Putty
Carlin invents Past-Tense TV (Got Smart, Father Knew Best, It Was Left to Beaver); crusades for the Center for Research into the Heebie Jeebies; founds the George Carlin Book Club (recommended reading: Fill Your Life with Croutons); and suggests that "If the shoe fits, get another just like it." A 2002 Grammy winner.

More Napalm & Silly Putty
Everything that wouldn't fit on the first Napalm recording - like "A Day in the Life of Henry VIII", "Sports Should Be Fixed", compelling confessions ("I couldn't commit suicide if my life depended on it"), and candid takes on life's little moments ("I'm beyond the nice day"), all delivered with wicked glee.

No surprises in Carlin's own reading of his classic late career book releases. In this narrative, you get precisely what you expect. Social observer, hilariously literal etymologist and patron saint of the realists, this listen was worth it to fill the time on my drives to and from work.

It was interesting - and slightly frightening - to hear how much of his material is relevant, evocative and poignant even four years after his death. The book earned three stars for story only because this book is a stand-up routine and not a story.

I enjoyed it but would not recommend this if you are offended by profanity. Nice addition to the audio library for one credit.

100 percent, unapologetically, George Carlin

Even if you have heard this bit before........there is something to be said about having them at your listening disposal. This is the book to download when you are having a bad day.

George Carlin never disappoints

A lot of his best materials, but he’s just talking to a mic. On the specials he’s animated and the audience immerses you in the act.

Watch the specials instead.

Very enjoyable. Some of the jokes were dated, but it is at 25 years old

Some is classic the other are filler

Would you be willing to try another book from George Carlin? Why or why not?

Do you think George Carlin Reads to You needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Alittle goes a long ways

I really enjoy George Carlin's observations and humor, but in this particular instance I felt a little bit bombarded by those observations. So much of his material causes you to stop and think and this format doesn't allow for that. All the material was good, but I think I would listen to it a second time in smaller doses.

Too Much of a Good Thing

I'm not sure I can recommend this audiobook for anyone driving a car - I had to stop listening because I was laughing so hard I couldn't really maintain proper control of myself and the car. This is more of a listen on the airplane, or on a train, or even at home.
I miss George Carlin, who, along with the late great Richard Pryor, was the soul and conscience of my generation. He never fails to move me in so many ways by holding up a fun-mirror to the human condition. I am thankful for this audiobook and everything else he ever recorded.

Carlin Was The King!

Never disappoints - is raw and honest and says what we are all thinking -wish more comedians today were like him

Hilarious

If you have ever listened to any of George Carlin's stuff or have watched his videos and specials...then more than likely you have heard some of what's here in this audio collection. I'm a big fan of his and I have heard all of this in his routines at some point or another. However; this is a good collection of his thoughts.

Hearing George's thinking in an audio book format was reminiscent of listening to the old George Carlin vinyl records or audio cassettes only in digital form.

The books are narrated by George himself which adds to his writing bringing you into his way of looking at things. You're getting three books because he adds an extra one... "more Napalm and Silly Putty" at the end.

Politically incorrect at times... Snowflakes beware... comedy enclosed within. Recommended for those looking to bring a smile to your day. This can be listened to in segments as the subject changes quite often.

George gives you plenty to ponder on
