Sleepwalk With Me and Other Painfully True Stories

I was really excited to read this book. I even pre-ordered it on the Internets, something I usually reserve for books of a Harry Potter stature. But I just love Mike Birbiglia's standup. He is a funny, funny guy. I cannot emphasize that enough. If I were reviewing any of his standup shows or albums I would give them 5 stars. But this book was 50% his standup routine written down, which was less funny than his standup routine being performed. And it was kind of awkwardly strung together, like it was kind of a chronological memoir of his life and kind of an excuse to hold the jokes together. I mean... it was still very funny, because he is a funny guy. But not as funny as his standup routines are. If you don't know who Mike Birbiglia is I really strongly recommend watching or listening to him rather than reading this book. DO IT.
