From the comedian who brought you Stella and The State, Michael Ian Black delivers a collection of irreverent essays that say the kinds of things you’re afraid to admit. Here he is: naked, exposed, a little chilly, and understandably shriveled.FINALLY, Michael Ian Black-suburban husband, father, and very famous comedian-ponders the question so many of us ask ourselves: How did I end up here? With deadpan wit and unexpected candor, Michael delivers a darkly funny-because-it’s-true take on his childhood, marriage, children, and career. Review All these years, Michael Ian Black has not gotten enough credit for what a good writer he is. This book is charming and good company and--best of all--amazingly honest. And really, really funny, of course--though you probably already guessed at that part. -- Ira Glass, This American Life Memorable and funny. . . . An amusing look at masculine insecurity and confusion. --Kirkus Reviews This book is so frank, so full of amusingly embarrassing confessions, I should probably be giving Michael Black a hug instead of a blurb. --Sarah Vowell, New York Times bestselling author and essayist Its no surprise that Michael Ian Blacks book is hysterical. But I was surprised by how heartfelt and touching his memoir is. Its true: Michael Ian Black has emotions! --A.J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically and The Know-It-All I loved My Custom Van. But I loved Youre Not Doing It Right even more. Reading this book felt like taking a long road trip with Michael himself--which Ive done. And I actually recommend the book more. Touching, hilarious, and truthful all at once. What else do you want, America? --Mike Birbiglia, New York Times bestselling author of Sleepwalk with Me Dear Michael Ian Black: please stop writing things in books that I wish I had written myself, its starting to make me feel bad. Also, would you like to be friends someday? I sure would. --Samantha Bee, senior correspondent on The Daily Show and author of I Know I Am But What Are You? Michael Ian Black is one of the finest comedy minds of our generation and a master at assembling words in a hilariously pleasing way. You would have to be a vapid crapsack not to enjoy this book. --Chris Hardwick Memorable and funny. . . .
