    About this audiobook

    If David Sedaris, Chelsea Handler, Larry David, and Caitlin Moran had the unlikeliest orgy in history, the resulting love child might one day write a book like this rollicking collection of true tales from Roy Sekoff, the founding editor of the Huffington Post. Whether he’s describing a teenage pilgrimage to a Times Square porn superstore, life-changing experiences with high colonics and psychic readings, an ill-fated attempt to make off with a tissue containing Oprah’s tears, or that time Chevy Chase grabbed his balls at a funeral, Sekoff is a lively, irreverent raconteur whose sharp observations wring laughs out of a ludicrous-yet-relatable life.

      So many funny and interesting parts, also he's very funny. For me though, a bit too much vulgar stuff and seemingly endless talk(in diff chapters)about porn.

      A good humorous memoir for some summer reading. It was a random pick so I was pleasantly surprised.
    • 5/5
      This book was FANTASTIC!!!!! An amazing collection of essays. This book was so great I wish I’d written it. Definitely a must read.
    • 1/5
      I love David Sedaris, so I went into this quite excited. That disappeared quickly.
      The majority of the essays are about sex and masturbation. Told in a gross, I feel like washing my hands king of way. I also found that I didn't like the narrator, (who is also the author), at all. He came across as whiny and over privileged. Not my kind of book at all.
