EDIT: Dane Cook has since failed me many times as has Neil Hamburger. Though in Neil's case I blame brilliant insanity in the vein of Jonathan Winters and Andy Kaufman while Dane's failures can only be blamed on narcissistic self-indulgence.
No doubt they are all great books. The boredom stems from such an exhaustive and (likely) impersonal list. I was going to post a commented clone of the list but the task became too overwhelming. Only 25 on the list that I've read (not counting those I've bought, borrowed, skimmed, left unfinished, or seen on screen).
It's funny. I love the Discworld but I've never read one of the books. There was one failed attempt at a title I don't recognize among your list but it didn't hold my interest. Perhaps I had already gleaned all the enjoyment from the MUD and PS1 game.
P.S. Isn't 'The Colour of Magic' a Piers Anthony title?
Mencia only has a show because Chappelle lost his effing mind (don't let him tell you different).
It's very fashionable to hate Dane Cook but while he's not even in my Top 40 he's never failed to amuse me.
I can't believe I've taken the recommendation of someone that fails to appreciate Sarah Silverman but for introducing me to the genius that is Neil Hamburger I must thank you.
Further advice. Make a Julie London station on Pandora. A test run of my own yielded 'Knock Me a Kiss' by Ella Fitzgerald and 'The Other Woman' by Nina Simone.
'Fever' is the 'Me So Horny' of its generation and has been covered a bazillion times. I'm sure you can find one that fits.
I agree that nobody does torch like Julie London. Perhaps Eartha Kitt if you can get past the overuse of vibrato and Marilyn Monroe does a great breathy cover of 'My Heart Belongs to Daddy'.
This is pretty much everything by Nirvana isn't it? What did you achieve with this list? Well for one you inspired me to make this one.

I'm reserving Carlin for People So Profoundly Truthful That I Don't Really Give A Shit If They're Still Funny. :)

Isn't every VU song about prostitution? :)
