Synopsis

Let’s be honest—nobody has more fun than atheists. Don’t believe it? Well, consider this: For nonbelievers, every day you’re alive is a day to celebrate! And no one celebrates life to the fullest like Penn Jillette—the larger, louder half of legendary magic duo Penn & Teller—whose spectacularly witty and sharply observant essays in Every Day Is an Atheist Holiday! will entertain zealots and skeptics alike. Whether he’s contemplating the possibility of life after death, deconstructing popular Christmas carols, or just calling bullsh*t on Donald Trump’s apprentice training, Jillette does not fail to shock and delight his fans. And as ever, underneath these rollicking rants lie a deeply personal philosophy and a generous spirit, which find joy and meaning in family, and peace in the simple beauty of the everyday. Every Day Is an Atheist Holiday! is a hysterical affirmation of life’s magic from one of the most distinctly perceptive and provocative humorists writing today.

Goodreads review by Allen on October 29, 2015

[URL not allowed] Following the titular conceit, “Every Day is an Atheist Holiday” features chapters named for holidays…but not the ones you might think. Sure some classics such as Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July make appearances, but other chapters are headed by things lik......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on December 26, 2012

Penn Jillette, after how successful God, No! was, gets a second book, this time with the conceit of using holidays as a backdrop for his stories and advocacy. If you know Penn Jillette, you know what you're getting - unfiltered opinion, some humor, some heart, and some pretty crazy stories. This boo......more

Goodreads review by David on January 22, 2013

A look into Penn's life and art; some great stories. In one about being in The Celebrity Apprentice, where he got his friends in Blue Man Group to come along and bring money in an unconventional manner (in a balloon), and Clay Aiken was being a git to him as usual, I remember trying to remember if P......more

Goodreads review by Christine on October 18, 2012

This review comes from a friend who read this book, but doesn't have his own Goodreads account, so I offered to put it up for him. With his tell-it-like-it-is style many people will find Penn Jillette's newest book "Every Day Is An Atheist Holiday: More Magical Tales" to be a seamless sequel to his p......more

Goodreads review by Nikki on January 07, 2013

I'm sitting here wondering if I'm really giving a book by Penn Jillette five stars. And the answer is, yes I most definitely am. I can hardly believe it myself. My expectations for this book were low. Even though I'm an atheist like Jillette, I sometimes find him annoying and abrasive on his show Pe......more
