Re: Looking for good humorous writing

Are Steve Martin's books,Born Standing Up and Pure Drivel really that funny? I've looked through them both and I can't say that I find Steve Martin as funny a writer as a standup comic. If anyone feels these books are worth reading,please let me know.

 

Thank you

The only steve martin book I've read was his autobiography and it was ok.  Nothing special.  And I love him in the movies.

Re: Looking for good humorous writing

if youre looking for fiction, id recommend anything by Christopher Moore, I think his books are hilarious and have excellent plots.
