"I don't trust books. They're all fact, no heart." says Stephen Colbert. Now, while this may be true, Stephen had a lot of authors on his show who have written books that I want to read. So I've tracked them here!

And if you like the guests on the Colbert Report, chances are, you might like guests on The Daily Show (previously with Jon Stewart and now with Trevor Noah) and the books they have written!

Important! I am not affiliated with The Colbert Report in any way. I am just a fan who loves to read and gets a lot of great ideas from the guests on the show. Also, the book and movie links generally go to Powell's Books or Amazon where you can purchase the book. These are affiliate links and if you buy the book, I do get a small commission.

James Murphy, LCD Soundsytem and This is Happening

LCD

"You're a prettu successful rocker."

"A moderately successul rocker."

And James Murphy is walking away from LCD Soundsystem (releasing their latest and last album  This is Happening).

He tells Colbert says he's walking away because he's 41 and at some point being in a band is embarrassing... so Mick Jagger is 67.  Paul McCartney is 68.  Granted, I'm not suggesting that LCD soundsystem has reached the heights of these two greats, but 41?  Really?  You think it's embarassing, Mr. Murphy?

I'm not a huge fan of LCD Soundsystem, but they are on my playlist.  I especially like to listen to them when I am out for a run (okay, maybe not a run... more like  jog/stop-to-gasp-for-breath/repeat).
