Heavy Duty Bathroom Reading

It was 1987. Uncle John found himself stranded on his throne with nothing to read. That’s when he came up with the idea to launch a series of trivia books specifically tailored toward his fellow bathroom readers. He gathered together the best trivia writers he could find and charged them with the task of combing the worlds of science, history, sports, politics, and pop culture to compile dozens of interesting articles that could be absorbed in just a few minutes. And with that, The Bathroom Readers’ Institute was born. Their newest book Uncle John's Heavy Duty Bathroom Reader is available now, and makes the perfect stocking-stuffer.

Whiter Shades of Pale

When internet copy writer Christian Lander started the blog stuffwhitepeople.com like, he had no idea the phenomenon he'd created. Two best-selling books later, he's starting to figure it out. What began as a way for him to mock himself, and others like him has since turned into a tongue-in-cheek study of the many progressive, educated, upper-middle-class whites who think they are beyond ethnicity or collectively shared tastes, styles or outlook. While his website is still active, you can also find his views on White People (like him) in his books Stuff White People Like and Whiter Shades of Pale.

Stolen Melodies and Ripped-off Riffs

Ever been listening to the radio and heard a song that sounded a lot like another song? According to author and musical theorist Timothy English, those similarities are probably not a coincidence. In his new bookSounds Like Teen Spirit, English shows readers how a number of music’s greats performers have “borrowed” melodies from other artists to create their hits. You’ll find out how John Lennon’s classic “Imagine” is remarkably similar to a novelty record by his father and why Huey Lewis sued Ray Parker Jr. over the song Ghostbusters. Including stories about U2, The Beatles, Nirvana and Bob Marley, this book of stolen melodies, ripped-off riffs and the secret history of rock and roll is getting rave reviews. Timothy English writes frequently about pop music and has appeared in Upstage Magazine.

Drinking With George

When people think of actor George Wendt, the first thing to come to mind is beer. Famous for his role as Norm on the popular and long-running sitcom Cheers, Wendt was rarely seen without a beer in his hand, which is why it makes perfect sense that he would write a book on the subject. In Drinking with George, Wendt shares fascinating facts, personal stories and odes to his favorite beverage. The next best thing to a barstool and a pint, this book is all the fun without the hangover.

This in turn led to two Ruminations books, a successful stand-up career and a number of television appearances. Kara has also recently written a book titled I’m Having More Fun Than You, and released the digital stand-up album Just Go Talk to Her.

Shapiro, J.D.

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:14:43 -0700

After graduating college, J.D. Shapiro headed for LA with $900 and a head full of dreams. Knowing that wasn’t going to get him very far, he also brought along a spec script he wrote called Robin Hood: Men in Tights. This little script was discovered by comedy film giant Mel Brooks and the rest is history. Shapiro has since gone on to write a number of other films including We Married Margo (which helped him become friends with George Lucas). Along with writing, Shapiro is also an actor, the author of The Truth About Men and an accomplished stand-up comedian.

Now What Would You Pay?

Have you ever been watching TV and been sucked into a show that looked an awful lot like a commercial, only to be pitched a product that could change your life forever? If the answer is yes, you’ve just been witness to one of televisions most prominent form of programming, Infomercials. They are part talk show part commercial, and almost always entertaining in the way they try to convince you to buy things you never even knew you needed. Author and editor of cityfile.com, Remy Stern has fallen victim to these unbelievable offers which is why he now owns a pasta maker, a vegetable juice, and a set of books that assured him he’d be a millionaire in less than a month. In his new book But Wait… There’s More, Stern gives his take on infomercials, home shopping and the American way of life.

We Need Tickets

Robert Tuchman always knew he wanted to work in sports, unfortunately his career didn’t begin that way. Tuchman first got a job making cold calls for a Wall Street stockbroker-trainee program but soon realized he was never going to be happy doing that. He then took the plunge and began running his own business out of his small apartment. Before long, his business of setting up companies with tickets to major sporting events had taken off, and he was running a multi-city corporation, and rubbing elbows with sports legends. He’s also recently put his knowledge of sports to good use in his new book The 100 Sporting Events You Must See Live, a travel guide/ encyclopedia of ways to score tickets, where to stay, and what to do to have a blast at the world’s greatest events.

A former stand-up comedian, Bill Scheft decided a number of years ago that he preferred writing the jokes to telling them. That's what's made him such a valuable asset to "The Late Show w/ David Letterman," where he's one of the head writers for Dave's famous opening monologues. He also contributed to the new book, The Late Show Fun Facts, authored by Letterman and the other Late Show writers. But this isn't Bill's only published work, he's also the author of three novels, The Ringer, Time Won't Let Me, and Everything Hurts which will be available in paperback on April 6th. His newest book is The Final Four of Everything. Check out Bill's band, The Truants. Follow Bill Scheft on twitter. And if you're a golf fan, you'll enjoy this book Bill put together of stories collected from his Uncle about The Masters.

David Pogue

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 11:01:28 -0700

With over 3 million books in print, New York Times columnist David Pogue is one of the world's bestselling 'How-to' authors. He's also become quite the activist, leading a crusade against the big four cell phone companies and their annoying recording you have to sit through in order to leave a message. We all know the drill by now, why do they insist that we listen to that same 15 second recording every time? Pogue has been featured on "48 Hours" and "60 Minutes," graduated summa cum laude from Yale, and spent ten years conducting and arranging Broadway Musicals. With all that, we're sure to find something interesting to talk about when he calls in.

Long time friend of the show, Dr. Will Miller, is an ordained minister, former standup comedian, keynote speaker, teacher and full-time therapist at a major University, yet somehow he still finds time to write books including Why We Watch and Refrigerator Rights (the latter of which has just recently been re-released with an all new chapter and updated research.) He's also the formorst expert on how classic television secretly revals the inner stuggles in all of us. Meaning, while you watch shows like "Mr. Ed" and "Bewitched" to get a few laughs, he's looking to find out what's going on in that messed up brain of yours.

Driving Like Crazy - PJ O'Rourke

O'Rourke, PJ

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 06:44:24 -0700

The End of Our Love Affair with Automobiles?
PJ O'Rourke is the author of a dozen best-selling books, a former editor of The National Lampoon, comic, satirist and is one of America's most highly respected journalists. He graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and attended the graduate program at Johns Hopkins before he began his career of skewering both the left and the right with his canny, thorny wit.
O'Rourke has written are The National Lampoon (which he first joined in 1973, becoming editor-in-chief in 1978), Automobile, American Spectator, Playboy, Esquire, Vanity Fair, and Harper's. He was also the Foreign Affairs Desk Chief for Rolling Stone, a position which allowed him to expose the hypocrisies of world politics from the Persian Gulf to the Philippines. Currently he is the H. L. Mencken Research Fellow of the Cato Institute and a regular correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly. Quite a pedigree.
His new book, "Driving Like Crazy" is subtitled: Thirty years of Vehicular hell-bending - Celebrating America the way it's supposed to be - with an oil well in every back yard, a Cadillac in every carport, and the chairman of the federal reserve mowing our lawn.
This should be a great interview!
