Sleepwalk With Me and Other Painfully True Stories by Mike Birbiglia

4.0

3.5 stars - I've only seen one of Mike Birbiglia's stand-up specials, but it was enough to know what his voice sounded like so I could hear him as I read this collection of stories from him life. I alternated between laughing so hard I couldn't breath to wanting to give Mike a big old hug. He is just sharing his life story and being honest, and the humor comes from that honesty, not some forced punchline.

Having read this and listened to Patton Oswalt's "Zombie Spaceship Wasteland", I have to say I enjoy reading about the careers of stand-up comedians...but I'm not sure I would ever want to be one! Thanks for making me laugh, boys.
