More like book. I only read one book this year so it's automatically number one:
Mike Birbiglia is one of my favorite comics, when I saw his tweets that his book had been released I picked it up immediately. That this is the only book I read this year might sound bad; but I do read quite a lot, just not books. I have three books I've been reading off and on for the last year or two and I opted out of those for this, which wasn't a big deal cause I read it in two days. Not that it's a short read, I just found many of the stories so easy to relate to that I couldn't put the book down. Mike's stories are honest and personal, their the kind of moments that define a person and he shares those with his soft-spoken comedy style that makes most of them entertaining. Makes it entertaining? Well, in some cases it would be scary, if he didn't make it funny. My favorite chapter was a collection of three stories about Mitch Hedberg who is a shared comedic idol of mine and Mike's. If you have any doubts just go to the bookstore and read the inner sleeve, I know I made ten people read it when they asked what I was laughing at while I read this at work.
