Of the ones on this list, I've read Tina Fey's Bossypants (as great as you'd expect), her best friend Amy Poehler's Yes Please (not nearly as good as you'd hope; it felt rushed), and Sleepwalk With Me and Other Painfully True Stories by Mike Birbiglia (if you don't know Birbiglia you really should. This is the book that launched his career and it is exceptional. As is the movie, the comedy special, etc.)
On my to-read list because I've heard good things are Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life by the versatile Steve Martin and the new Judd Apatow book Sick in the Head: Conversations About Life and Comedy. I've also heard very good things about Aziz Ansari's Modern Romance (he's the little dude from Parks and Rec) and Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (she's the chatty girl from The Office), though neither particularly appeals to me.
Thoughts? Other recommendations? I'm getting desperate for some feedback here :)
