I read A Load of Hooey by Bob Odenkirk a few days ago. This was one of the books I received from the McSweeney Book Club that Levi ordered for me. I didn't really know who Bob Odenkirk was, but it turns out he is Saul on Breaking Bad. A plus I saw when first opening is that I received an autographed copy of the book.
This book was a series of short stories/poems. It's done in a very sarcastic tone. I didn't really get the humor in some of the book. Some was kind of borderline offensive, but that seems to be the theme with comedians nowadays.
There were a few stories/poems towards the end that I enjoyed. I really enjoyed the "Obituary for the creator of Mad Libs" and the story about getting a tattoo. I found these really funny. I liked the one about "the gluten free future" as well. The rest of the book was just kind of blah for me.
Currently Reading: The Case of Curiosities by Allen Kurzwell
