If you've heard his stand up either on The Moth or This American Life podcasts, you've read the book. A couple other gems in there that made me laugh, but nothing more from what I'd already heard from Birbiglia. ( ) I really enjoy Mike Birbiglia's stand up. I also really enjoy his Secret Public Journal. But, this book was filled with jokes I have already heard time and again in both of the aforementioned places. I suppose that I would have found it more enjoyable had I never experienced his stand up or read the SPJ. However, having done both I was rather bored with most of the material. I wish that he would have filled the book with more original material. Birbigs is a funny man and I was just disappointed with this book. I enjoyed this book, but I didn't love it. I may have loved it as an audio book read by Birbiglia. I like him better in spoken form than written form. I could hear his voice in my head sometimes while I was reading, and that made it much more entertaining, but I found I had to read really slow to get the right effect. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Hello, I am Mike Birbiglia and I want you to read my book. Too on the nose? Sorry. Let me dial it back. I'm Mike Birbiglia and I'm a comedian. You may know me from Comedy Central or This American Life or The Bob & Tom Show, but you've never seen me like this before. Naked. Wait, that's the name of another book. Also I'm not naked as there are no pictures in my book. Also, if there were naked pictures of me, you definitely wouldn't buy it, though you might sneak a copy into the back corner of the bookstore and show it to your friend and laugh. Okay, let's get off the naked stuff. This is my first book. It's difficult to describe. It's a comedic memoir, but I'm only 32 years old so I'd hate for you to think I'm "wrapping it up," so to speak. But I tell some personal stories. Some REALLY personal stories. Stories that I considered not publishing time and time again, especially when my father said, "Michael, you might want to stay away from the personal stuff." I said, "Dad, just read the dedication." (Which I'm telling you to do too.) Some of the stories are about my childhood, some are about girls I made out with when I was thirteen, some are about my parents, and some are, of course, about my bouts with sleepwalking. Bring this book to bed. And sleepwalk with me. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
