Guns | Stephen King

Pickpick

Reading Guns made me furious. Furious because I live in a country where it's so easy for things like this to happen, furious because they happen with obscene regularity, furious because we have become numb and inured to it, and furious because our legislators refuse to pass laws that would decrease the likelihood of things like this continuing to happen. Read Guns, and you can be furious too. 5/5

Like Shakespeare, Carlin is meant to heard not read.

It's like a transcript of his stand-up shows and I'm glad to have it on hand; but the words mean nothing without the man.

dabbe So true! Every intonation, every syllable mattered ... and he was such a word-lover! #logophile #carlinwouldhaveknowntheword 🤣 9mo
TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe such a maestro when it came to word arrangement and from jumping subject to subject seemingly randomly but always a thread to tie everything together. I mean I can hear his voice in my head, but without his facial expressions and body language . . . it's just flat. 9mo
TieDyeDude I have one of his books on hand, but I don't know if I've ever read it the whole way through. One liners are good to read, but I agree a whole book doesn't work as well. 9mo

TheBookgeekFrau @TieDyeDude Nope, a whole book doesn't work. But reading a few things was nostalgic fun--I miss his humor. 9mo
mandarchy I read this while he was still alive and loved it. It's possible it hasn't aged well 9mo
TheBookgeekFrau @mandarchy It just doesn't read well - it's better to watch him preform it; but I'm happy to have in print the reduction of the Ten Commandments down to two 🤣🤣 Good stuff 9mo

Soft pick, a little better than so-so. The subject is engaging and important, but the writing has room for improvement. It‘s a bit scattered and repetitive, but it‘s a short read (less than 200 pages). I recommend this one for folks interested in criminal justice reform and legal parity. ⚖️

OrangeMooseReads Sounds interesting. 11mo
