List of Books and Movies on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" - Current Season (2012)

Jon Stewart invites a lot of authors, moviestars and other folks to pitch their books and movies on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. But do you think you could find a simple list of them and links to Amazon on the Internet? No. Well, I thought that was really annoying. So I made this list.

This list is for the current season (2012) of The Daily Show. Earlier seasons are listed at the end of this page. Also, there is now a list of the books featured on The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert.

My Favourite Book from April 2012

This month, my favourite book is Zach Wahls' book, My Two Moms. I can't imagine being so composed, passionate and articulate at 19. He is a real credit to his family and to the nation. I love the structure of the book - that it is based on the Boy Scout code (something so uniquely American) - and how he uses it to highlight the simple fact that he has amazing parents regardless of their sexual orientation. It's such a delight to read.

Favourite Book from Winter 2012

Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier

Jon interviewed a lot of interesting authors in Q1 2012. There were lots of political books - to be expected for an election year. But my fav book this quarter was Neil deGrasse Tyson's Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier. deGrasse Tyson is my science hero.

I got a Kobo eReader last year. It hasn't fully converted me to ebooks, but I am reading more of them. I'm curious if an eReader has changed your habits or not. Photo Purchased from iStockphoto.com
