The New One: Painfully True Stories from a Reluctant Dad by Mike Birbiglia

4.0

This book felt like cheating--I saw Birbiglia perform the basis for this book a few years back, then watched the same (or very similar) show on Netflix, so I'm very familiar with most of the anecdotes in this book. However, the extras, including his wife's poetry, made me enjoy the book (probably?) more than the standup. Especially because I listened to it as an audiobook so it felt very familiar. It's a great story--although maybe not the best for those with health anxiety. My only complaint is that the difference in volume between the two narrators in the audiobook made it almost impossible to listen to while doing chores.
