Is This Guy for Real?: The Unbelievable Andy Kaufman by Box Brown

4.0

---

While you may know I'm a huge wrestling fan, you may not know that I was obsessed with Andy Kaufman as a teen. My best friend and I were really into classic tv and loved watching old SNL and Taxi re-runs. When I discovered Andy and the "incident" with Jerry Lawler, I tracked down every tape I could (pre Internet days, folks) and we found a tape that included Andy's appearance with Lawler on Letterman. I had that interview memorized... we drew stupid fan-art of them on set. So I loved this book probably more than most. ;)
