A rollercoaster of short stories written by the author, you never know what to expect every chapter. Some were very cute and fun and others left you saying "wtf just happnend".
This one is unequivocally for the dreamers. Wonderful.
PT: daydreaming/imagination (an older PT but recently resurfacing), travel, ADHD-esque protags

1) This might be for the dreamers, but it doesn’t end in a way that could ever satiate us. This man dissociates so aggressively into other worlds, worlds where he’s happy, only to ultimately wind up back firmly planted on his feet at a place he is loathe to be. What? What kind of ending is that? Give me an ending where the dreamer dreams something so intensely that it *actually* manifests in reality and makes things better.

Ha! I love it. My only gripe is that it is too short. I wish there had been a little more of the wonderful imagining and perhaps some character development.
For a15 minute read, though, it was awesome.
I watched the movie a little while back and only read this now, but that's OK, they're pretty independent works.

The most melancholy of stories, and Ben Stiller does a great job reading it, in a rushed at times, slow and lugubrious at times way. Great listen.
