The Ten, Make That Nine, Habits Of Very Organized People. Make That Ten.: The Tweets Of Steve Martin (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I really cannot believe the diverse ingenuity of Steve Martin sometimes. The man is funny, of course. One of the few innately funny comedians of today. He is cute, even handsome. Clearly intelligent. And he can act. More than a few successful films in his career, he has also written a handful of masterful screenplays, plays the banjo, can even sing. He is wonderful as a standup comedian, even has an interest in philanthropy. His three novels thus far show another dimension that impresses me, ShopGirl demonstrating the romantic and compassionate side, The Object Of Beauty showing his academic and respectable knowledge and interest in the fine art world, and The Pleasure Of My Company portraying an unexpectedly empathetic capability, especially for those often dismissed as outsiders (probably because h himself has been-is one). I need my very own Steve Martin To Go! Okay, I LOVE Steve Martin. I love his skits, his musical abilities, and his ridiculous humor. I especially love his books. This one, though . . . come on! This little book (and I mean little - it took about 20 minutes to read and I'm not kidding) is tweets he has written and collected over time. And it's also the responses he has received from those tweets, so technically, he didn't even write, say 75%, of this "book." And yes, the tweets are funny. And stupid. And silly. But book worthy? Not so much. Save your money and just follow him on Twitter. It's that simple. (Hmmmm. . . maybe that was the point . . . if so, well played, Mr. Martin, well played.)
