Silver Screen Fiend: Learning about Life from an Addiction to Film by Patton Oswalt

3.0

Not a bad partial-autobiography, but just wasn't what my brain was looking for. I was pushed towards this book by one of those shitty internet lists for "funniest audiobooks", but this is more a depressive explanation of how stressful a career in comedy can be and why it pairs so well with mental illness. And that addiction can take the form of any behavior you repeatedly use as a coping mechanism. There's sarcasm, but that's about it for humor.
