1. I Am America (And So Can You!)

By: Stephen Colbert

While I do loves me my Colbert Report and misses it whilst in China, the joke gets pretty stale pretty quickly. I've never read any of Bill O'Reilly's books (and most likely never will), and I'm sure that most of this book takes the piss out of his writing as much as the show does to its equivalent in that medium. However, its the spontinaity and awkward interactions between a fake conservative and his liberal guests that make the show fun. This is just schtick.

Recommendation: Pick it up in the bookstore, and skip around for a few laughs for a good ten minutes, then move on.
