A hilarious and emotionally profound book. Read this if you want to laugh and cry and feel giddily human.

I found some of the stories a bit strange and slow, thus the 3 stars.

re-read: july 12 
(changed rating from 3 stars to 2)
the book is funny, and really captures the human experience through not-so-human stories. however, nearly none of the stories struck me as very significant, nor excellent. i really enjoyed very few (like the Circus Cashews). the rest was sort of just... meh.
