I decided in advance that I would love I Drink for a Reason by David Cross since Tobias Fünke is the second best TV character ever (from the first best TV show Arrested Development. Job Bluth from the same show is reigning #1.) Plus I am a big fan of his Grammy losing stand-up album Stop Crying You Fucking Baby. There are a couple of bits in that act that I have heard so many times that I quote them. People hate that. Mostly because my delivery is so bad that I burst out laughing before I get to the punch line, a trait that is unfortunately not unique to quoting Cross. I really crack myself up.
Anyway, you probably see where this is going. I was disappointed in the book, except for the chapter making fun of a scrapbook convention in Michigan. He came off pretty whiny throughout, though I really want to like it since he said that all of his fans are smart. But I guess I am just not that smart, since I thought he came off as what Eighth Grade Allison might call a “hater.” Boy was she a big time scrapbooker.
