Bob Newhart
A guy is having an affair with his boss's wife. They are making mad passionate love, and she says, "Kiss me! Kiss me!" He looks at her very seriously and replies, "I shouldnt even be doing this!"This isnt a memoir like most memoirs. It's a book only Bob Newhart could have written, with his unique worldview and irrepressibly wry humor on every page. Oh, and there's a fair bit of plain silliness too. In this, his first book ever, Newhart gives his brilliant and bemused twist on a multitude of topics, including flying, the trials of a family holiday in a Winnebago, and more serious subjects, such as gold. And of course, there are side-splittingly funny stories from his life and career. Who else has a drinking game named after him ("Hi Bob!")

"As someone who has a lot of affection for Bob Newhart, I found this book exceedingly disappointing. Is it a biography? Well, at times he talks about his life, but there are large parts of it that he barely mentions. Is it a humor book? Well, its not very funny, perhaps because a large part of what makes Newhart so amusing is his delivery, which you don't get in written form. Instead, this book just kind of meanders, occasionally giving us an important tidbit from his life or a mildly amusing sketch, but never able to make up its mind as to what it really wants to be."
