Sure, I'll Join Your Cult: A Memoir of Mental Illness and the Quest to Belong Anywhere by Maria Bamford

dark funny medium-paced

4.0

This book is messy and all over the place -  which is sort of the point and totally on brand.  I'm not a huge fan of memoirs and I didn't find this hugely helpful for myself or informative necessarily.  What I do feel is important for a comedian's memoir is that I frequently found this funny.
