    "You’re not doing it right." Michael Ian Black has been hearing these five words all his life. And now—on the eve of his 40th birthday—he is finally beginning to wonder why. As a husband and father living in the suburbs, Michael asks the questions so many of us ask ourselves at one point or another, including "How did I end up here?" The answers are painstakingly detailed in this, Michael Ian Black’s debut memoir.

    What other book might you compare You're Not Doing It Right to and why?

    It reminded me of Tina Fey's Bossy Pants as well as David Cross' I Drink for A Reason, mostly due to the mixture of biography and comedy as well as the intricate detail for certain stories.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I laughed through a great deal of it, and was brought to tears by one particular scene.

    Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last 15 years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to be better than the print version?

    Yes, Stephen Fry's performance really brings the characters to life and his smooth voice while narrating makes it a pleasure to listen to this audiobook.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    So long and thanks for all the fish, had me laughing out loud.

    Go the F--k to Sleep

    Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) rocks this mock bedtime story, capturing a hilarious range of emotions as the voice of a father struggling to get his child to sleep. Go the F**k to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland.

    Would you listen to Go the F--k to Sleep again? Why?

    Yes, I listen to it whenever I need a laugh. Samuel L. Jackson just sells the tone of the book so well.
