Title: When you ride alone, you should ride with this audiobook
Review: I listened to the audiobook version of Bill Maher's book (three cassettes, unabridged) and found it to be both thoughtful and very entertaining. Maher reads aloud the essays from his book in an energetic and engaging manner that makes you forget he's reading a prepared text at all. The nature of the book- lots of short essays on a variety of topics- reminded me a bit of Dennis Miller's various "Rants" books, but here the emphasis is less on comedy and more on making interesting points about various aspects of the post-911 world. But don't worry, the heavy topics are definitely balanced with some laugh-out-loud humor; in fact, Maher usually uses that humor to punctuate and underline his most serious points. In any event, this is definitely a painless way to expose yourself to some of the difficult issues we need to think about these days.
