“The Ten…” by (the) Steve Martin is a compendium of some messages he posted on his Twitter account. It is a somewhat small book (unsurprising given that Twitter messages are limited to 140 characters), but it is quite funny and worth the read.
To give you an idea of his humor and style when using Twitter, here’s a recent example: “So beautiful today in New York. Each leaf on every tree bloomed with life. Every person wore a friendly smile. I wish I had been there”.
In a way, the short form of Twitter fits Martin’s humor style, and this is why after he found how to use Twitter he is now using that as a new comedic platform. At times, even the replies are as funny (or funnier) as Martin’s messages. So, two things: Buy his book, and follow him on Twitter.
