Feel free to share your first impressions of Dad is Fat

I'm happy to say I was able to borrow this on Overdrive, so can finally read along!

Yay! I listened to another one of his and watch his stand up and he is pretty funny!

I actually downloaded the ebook and put a hold on the audio. There's only one ahead of me, so I may get to listen to some. I thought it would lend itself well to audio.

It is great to hear a comedy book read by the author

I just finished the audio. Especially funny for folks that have kids. Though mind are in their 20"s now, I still got a kick out of the "funnies" in the book. I liked that it was read by the author as well.

Wow, Jana! That was fast, I will have to get the other threads up. I haven't even started yet!

It is not very long. And, I will admit, i started it before the 1st!

I'm 29 pages in and this totally reminds me of Erma Bombeck! If you guys like this and haven't read Erma, you should. I don't even know what to call this kind of book. I mean it's basically true, but then it really isn't. It's love-hate-love-exhaustion.

I think it's funny how he refers to Jeanne as his first wife. My husband does that too! Also the way he says she can't divorce him because they're Catholic, again, ditto for my husband. It sounds almost offensive here, but it's actually quite endearing.

My favorite bit so far is the chapter about being the cool parent. I agree with everything he said! The parents who are getting high with their kids are NOT cool, they are a-holes.

Finally got started - and it is everything I expected! :)
