@arabes: Yep, I'm a new member of the club. I went 29 years finishing whatever book I was given, bought, or pawned off of and I still regret starting Steve Harveys' Act Like a Success(Christmas girt from a person who knows I like stand up comedy. I don't forgive them).
Within an hour of reading, it rang off countless alarms.. "To get the most experience out of this -brainwashing- book get AT LEAST FOUR friends to purchase this book as well! Yay Me!", "Have I mentioned for the fifth time how any other comedian especially Cedric the Entertainer or any other fellow headliner is shit?", and "Understanding the Make up of You!" where we immediately dissolve in misogyny... This being from the exact same idiot who ""Wrote"Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man and Straight Talk, No Chaser".
Only knew a bit of Steve Harveys' material before this book but after "God Blesses You to Become a Blesser" chapter and all the complaints, hate, and elitism this man spews in this book... I was less then a dozen pages away too. Fuck this supposed comedian.
That Being said, Chuck Klosterman's "I Wear the Black Hat" is a fascinating read and I'd highly suggest it for anyone.
