Rob Delaney: Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage.

Listened to Delaney read this as an audiobook. Very funny.

Written by a standup comedian who initially gained wider notice on Twitter, this book is part memoir, part humorous essay collection. While organized in a semi-chronological format, the chapters are less a full account of Delaney's life to date than a magnifying glass picking and choosing certain anecdotes or themes (childhood, alcoholism, experiences studying abroad, parenthood) to focus on. The result is that the book is a bit scattershot, but also a breezy, quick read. People who are familiar with his standup material or tweets will probably gain the most from this book, but I also wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone with a general fondness for humorous anecdotes.

Discusses strange happenings while being mixed with the morality of addictions. Interesting read. Some parts didn't read as well as they could have but hey, he's a comedian and not a full-time writer so I cut some slack.
