Summary: A few laughs and mercifully its over quickly
Comment: This is a strange genre - an autobiography of a fictional character. Add to this that the fictional character is Larry Sanders, a paranoid, insecure, and egotistical host of a late night talk show! Fortunately, the large print face, copious white space and 82 pages of pictures contribute to making this a quick read. The humor would be the sad type of laughing at some obnoxious, insensitive bore, except we are saved from feeling bad about this by the fact that the object of the joke is fictional. This is supposed to make laughing at him acceptable. If you can get into the premise there are plenty of funny jokes.

Summary: Confessions Of a Late Night Talk Show Host: A Book's Book
Comment: I thought Larry Sanders "Confessions of a Late Night Talk Show Host" was just a terrific work. I've read a number of books and neither of them were even close to being as good as this one. Reading Larry's life story was like getting to know him all over again and it was very exciting to learn that Larry has so much in common with the common man. It's so easy to relate to Larry on so many different levels and some that aren't level at all. For instance, Larry reveals that he's slept with a number of different women...

Anyone who fails to grasp the humor in this book, should take a long look in the mirror and ask themselves this question, "Are you looking at me?" That's the thing about Larry Sanders, he can look in the mirror without having to ask that question. In fact, he doesn't even have to look in a mirror to not ask that question. Some people will never understand that and I'll never understand that.

I just hope in this politically correct atmosphere that this book will be taken at face value. In Larry Sanders case, it's worth at least half that amount and I'm proud to stick two thumbs up in approval and delight.

Summary: Tickle My Funny Bone
Comment: This is not the best of autobiographies. But nevertheless it was a very funny book. The story about how his mother slept with Redd Foxx and Tito Jackson was a hoot. He's no Ernest Hemmingway but if want to read a very funny book buy it.
