A Wealth of Pigeons: A Cartoon Collection | Steve Martin

so-so

3✨ I really enjoy Steve Martin‘s humor, and while I didn‘t find all of the comics funny. The illustrations are amazing and I did enjoy reading all the dog comics.

This way way too cute. I pick up anything that has Steve Martin's name on it and I've never regretted it.

Number One Is Walking: My Life in the Movies and Other Diversions | Steve Martin

An interesting idea. A biography of Steve Martin‘s work in film in comic form. And well as other comic shorts. A very quick read but entertaining.

Little Shop of Horrors: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: Piano/Vocal/Chords Sheet Music | Alan Menken, Howard Ashman

This past weekend was my birthday; so my partner and went to NYC on a mini vacation. On our last night we went to see Little Shop of Horrors at The Westside Theatre. While in the city I took him past The Majestic; which is where I saw my first Broadway play (The Phantom of the Opera). #plays #culture #littleshopofhorrors

4-17-23: My 41st finished book of 2023! Well, this wasn‘t my favorite. I expected much more than what I got. I love Steve Martin and reading the few stories he gave us on his movie career and the people he has worked with was great! But the second half of the book is all Harry Bliss cartoons that have nothing to do with Steve. I just wanted more stories. I love all that behind the scenes stuff. ⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣4️⃣1️⃣

This book was great! I alternated between the print book, which has photos, and the audiobook, which has excellent narration by the author as well as banjo interludes. This book focuses on Steve Martin‘s early life through his stand up career, which ended in 1981. It‘s written with his trademark keen, philosophical wit, introspective voice, and clever eye for detail. Highly enjoyable.

Mandoul I have wanted to read this for a while, but will go for the audio book now, sounds well worth it. Thanks for the review 😀 2y

CSeydel @Mandoul The audiobook is great! Of course I‘m a long time Steve Martin fan, but I really enjoy his humor. (edited) 2y

About one third stories from Steve Martin about his career, and two-thirds a random collection of mostly single panel cartoons. I chuckled plenty, but I feel like I would have been disappointed if I had bought it. Took less than an hour to read, and even worth his stories, the cartoon aspect kept interviewing with unnecessary jokes. Amusing, but much less than what I had expected.
