Steve Martin has had such a long, successful career that you forget it had to start somewhere. He really started with nothing, selling guide maps in front of Disneyland and then getting a job in one of their magic shops. Amazing talent (although he never says that about himself), lots of persistence, and some luck are all part of his amazing rise to fame as a stand-up comic. It's written from a great perspective - he hasn't done stand-up in many many years, and he's looking back at that time in his life. This is a good, interesting, fairly easy read. I highly recommend it.
