Strong second for Born Standing Up, just in case anyone was on the fence. Steve Martin is a delight.

(Get the paperback if you can, the edition I have is the most well-weighted and well-proportioned high-quality paperback I think I own. I hope they still print it like that.)

Bought. The Kindle edition is $2.99 at amazon right now. Long ago I read Shopgirl by Steve Martin and I recall enjoying it, but don't recall much about it. Looks like it's a movie now.

Just recently, after that SNL skit about the Five Timers Club, I found that Steve Martin was the fastest to reach the Fiver Timers Club, it sounds like in 1977 he was hosting SNL all the time.

Thanks for the recommendation, I've added it to my To Read list (currently working on Doctrow/Stross Rapture of the Nerds, I'm kind of Meh on it).
