| I Didn't Ask To Be Born |
The world's most beloved funnyman is back with his first humor book since the bestselling Cosbyology. In this hilarious new collection of observations, Cosby brings us more of his wonderful and wacky insights into the human condition that are sure to become classics. In the tradition of Fat Albert, Cosby introduces a host of new characters, including Peanut Armhouse and Old Mother Harold. Not since Mushmouth, Dumb Donald, Bucky, and the Cosby Kids has there been such a memorable cast.
Over the past century, few entertainers have achieved the legendary status of William H. Cosby, Jr. His success spans five decades and virtually all media-remarkable accomplishments for a kid who emerged from humble beginnings in a Philly housing project.
The doctor of comedy holds forth on everything from a game show contestant's confusing origins, to a grandchild with a Godzilla infatuation, to his first love Bernadette, and many more delightful digressions.
Bill Cosby may not have asked to be born, but we're sure glad he was.
Jackie says:
"Bill Cosby is in most of my most vivid childhood memories. My parents had several of his LPs, and we all but wore them out listening to them. Now I've got everything of his I can find on CD and loaded on to computer files. I've even seen him on stage. The most fun I've ever had at Tattered Cover was sneaking Bill Cosby into the Cherry Creek coffee bar, sitting him at a table, and watching people 'discover' him--he had us all in thrall, and stitches, and seeing him playing with the kids was a beautiful thing. So I cannot begin to adequately tell you how very excited and happy I am to see this new book with new stories in it. This will be an excellent holiday gift for just about everybody!"
