Born Finishing Born Standing Up

It's done.
Mr. Martin, good job, you've written a pretty decent book. Overall, I must say, as a person who mostly reads fiction, I really did enjoy this nonfiction book.

The book is a lot like Juicy fruit - Happy one moment and sad the next.

Overall, what really stood out as interesting was the fact that Martin delved into how comedy is a craft and an art form. He discussed how different audiences could react to different jokes and how different lights could effect each audience. He continues to say how depending on the audience, the location, the area that the comedy club was in, and other factors made the jokes he told different. Martin had a variation on his jokes for literally every variation of audience.

But, more than the actual information, I loved Martin's writing style. He was able to mix comedy and seriousness all at the same time (just like this blog!). One could laugh, learn, and feel for Martin all in the same page. Wow, I feel like I'm advertising a new documentary on the Civil Rights Movement.

So, with Born Standing Up now standing behind me, I will continue on to bigger and more plot driven things. Bigger meaning smaller in this situation. Seriously, I am so goddamn behind on this project, I have to read three more books and post on here nine more times in roughly a week. I'm not used to this kind of work! I'm only used to this kind of procrastination!

Though I would really have liked to read A Clockwork Orange, it is around five hundred pages, and with another fifty or so pages of AP Euro to read, that's just not happening (Also, come on, I have to catch up on Walking Dead, Archer, Legit, and others). So next up is a haunting classic by Mr. Howard Phillip Lovecraft: At the Mountains of Madness. Being that I'm already around fifty pages in, a post should be coming up soon enough.

Read future posts to see the darkness that Lovecraft creates have comedic light shined upon it!
