Sure, I'll Join Your Cult: A Memoir of Mental Illness and the Quest to Belong Anywhere by Maria Bamford
funny
hopeful
medium-paced
This memoir is distinct for the level and tone of its self-awareness, and, in my opinion, that's what made the whole thing work. I went with the audiobook version of this one, and I found that listening to her upbeat delivery as she chronicled incredibly difficult things enhanced the book. After all, she's a comedian and a voice actor-- her delivery is a central component of her work.
Graphic: Mental illness, Suicidal thoughts, and Death of parent
Moderate: Animal death and Pandemic/Epidemic
Minor: Child abuse
