While I'm on the subject of Steve Martin, I'd like to toss out a few links to a some of his hilarious essays I've found on the web. He's a really funny author as well as actor and screenwriter and his written humor has the same kind of off-kilter, odd quality to it as his stand-up comedy did. "Dear Amanda" and "A Public Apology" are pieces he wrote for The New Yorker. "Writing Is Easy!" is an excerpt from his book, "Pure Drivel". Funny stuff.
