You're Not Doing It Right: Tales of Marriage, Sex, Death, and Other Humiliations | 
pickI am surprised by how much I enjoyed this collection! Brutally honest with Black's comedy style, it was also an insightful look at marriage, raising children, and aging. I laughed out loud a few times in the school pick up line because I related so much to his descriptions of parenting.
so-soAs much as I love MIB, I simply did not love this book. I feel like I didn‘t get what I signed up for. Like I wouldn‘t go to McDonalds, expecting a 5 star meal. So I didn‘t think I‘d read a book from a man who typically makes me laugh and instead find it depressing me. Black‘s observations on life are somewhat relatable, just not what I was looking for -a typical problem I find with comedians who write memoirs. Still love MIB, just not this read.
Going in a completely different direction again for my next read. Michael Ian Black‘s books have been on my radar for a long time, but not along as MIB himself. His particular brand of humor isn‘t for everyone, but I‘m a big fan so I hope to be, at the very least, mildly amused. #litsyatoz #lettery
“No good rock music has ever come from Florida. Undoubtedly, there will be legions of offended readers who think to themselves, What are you talking about! Such-and-such band is from Florida and they're freaking awesome! No, whatever band you are thinking of, if they are from Florida, they suck. Not as much as Creed, but they still suck.”

Ten minutes in and I've laughed out loud. Good sign !
pickExtremely funny, lots of dark humor. He says a lot of politically incorrect things which I loved because Nothing felt fake or trumped up. He is really open about his depression, marriage issues, parenting challenges and well everything. I have always loved him as an actor and now I love him as an author too. I can't wait to read his other books.
