Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage.

Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage. (2013) by Rob Delaney. Rob Delaney has been named the "Funniest Person on Twitter" by Comedy Central. This book includes a lot of his tweets, which I did not find particularly funny. It also contains a lot of more straightforward prose, which I found more engaging. Delaney goes into a sort of confessional mode, and he doesn't seem to be holding anything back. He writes about his struggles with alcoholism and with depression. He writes about going through rehab at a halfway house. He writes about bungee jumping off the Manhattan Bridge. He writes about spending his junior year of college in France. All in all, he appears to have lived an eventful and interesting life. And he's still young. And he has written an interesting book. Grade: B
