It's got its fair share of romance as well!. I Am America and So Can You- It's a hilarious political comedy book written by Stephen Colbert!. It's not so much a novel, but it's really interesting and sooner or later you'll forget you're reading about politics!. It has chapters on religion, seniors, pets, sports and homosexuality!. I've read it like 3 times through!. It's the kind of book you can never get enough of!. Read it and I promise you won't regret it!!
