Sleepwalk With Me and Other Painfully True Stories by Mike Birbiglia

2.0

I'm a fan of birbiglia's standup, but part of his charm is his simplicity of language, his molasses-slow cadence, and his casual, almost childlike delivery. Unfortunately, this style works better in a spoken-word format than in the written word. "Sleepwalk with me" is more or less a transcription of the stand-up routine by the same name, but the humor is somehow lost.

Opt to hear these stories told by the man himself. He's a master of pacing in oral storytelling, but his simplicity works on stage, not on the page.
