But I remembered being more amused, and more enlightened, reading The New, New Rules. Or maybe I just am comparing this to seeing Maher live, which is an insanely fun treat! Either way, while, yes, this made some wonderful points, and I did laugh out loud a lot, there was something missing. N...

The less is said about this piece of paranoid, islamophobic crap, the better. To think I sorta liked Bill Maher before - despite the douchiness and all the zionist apologetics. To add insult to injury, this pamphlet isn't even funny. Not once.

Meh. I agree with much of his politics and got a handful of chuckles out of it. This is pretty old so most of it is very much out of date - I thought this was the newer book when I borrowed it from the library. That'll teach me to pay closer attention. Very happy I borrowed it and didn't buy it. Mah...

I decided to make mini fruit skewers for the office potluck tomorrow, so, being the multi-tasker that I am, I decided to listen to an audiobook while I shoved sharp sticks through unsuspecting and defenseless fruit pieces. It was kind of an apt activity, listening to this particular audiobook, becau...

A 3.5 star. Some of the jokes were (I think) a bit inappropriate, but one thing I like about him is he knows the issues and takes a stand. One never has to wonder what his thinks, he'll tell you (very freely). Now if the Dems would get a spine....

Mr. Maher is definitely in top shape with this book. Now, a few out there may say he is too cynical, but let us be honest: the man says what needs to be said regardless of who gets offended. If as a society, we took a lot of his advice, things would probably be a lot better, but that would require p...

Bill Maher's books have passed through the stores where I've worked, but I've never looked too closely at them. I don't have cable, so HBO's Real Time likewise never crossed my path. I actually discovered Bill Maher when he was a guest on The Rachel Maddow Show, which I watch sporadically in podcast...

New Rules works as a segment on Maher's television show but not lumped into a book or audio format with nothing else. Constant "new rule" after "new rule" became tiresome and the tone of the book was rather bitter overall. So instead of being funny, as it is on TV, it was a mad rant from an angry gu...

This is basically a collection of Maher's monologues and some guest quotes from his show Politically Incorrect. On the one hand, much of the material has not aged well; it covers mostly the decade of the 1990s, so the references are pretty much of the time. On the other hand, a few pieces do remain ...
