It's what sold me on liking him so much. He just has a wit and a way with words; it made me look at some things with a fresh eye, and with a smile, a rare combination. I cannot recommend his book enough. His interviews are often just as remarkable... especially with Colbert, who kinda overruns him a bit because he's relatively soft-spoken, but for good comedic effect.

He conveys a wealth of information with a panache that, as a writer, I can admire for its craft as well as insight.
