Damn this book is good. -- Jon Stewart A biting darkly hilarious collection of personal essays that begs to be read aloud. -- Chicago Tribune Emmy Award-winning writer Adam Resnick began his career at Late Night with David Letterman before honing his chops in movies and cable television including HBO s The Larry Sanders Show . While courageously admitting to being euphorically antisocial Resnick plunges readers deep into his troubled psyche in this uproarious memoir-in-essays. Shaped by such touchstone events as a traumatic Easter egg hunt and overwrought by obsessions he refuses to be burdened by chores like basic social obligation and personal growth adhering to his own steadfast rule: I refuse to do anything I don t want to do.
