Anyone else buy "Shroud of the Thwacker" by Chris Elliott?

[Strawman]

Haven't had too much time to read it, but I met him at a book signing in Ann Arbor. So far what I have read is very funny.

1. I've been looking at it longingly in the book store

2. How did you like him in person?

3. He was a nice guy and very funny in person

He read a bit from his book, answered questions from fans and signed whatever shit people had. He was funny. There was a guy sitting right front and center at the reading who was a little too serious about his fandom who provided a perfect comic foil for a couple of jokes that were funny without being too mean.

4. I didn't know he was an author. I'll have to buy that book.

5. I always assumed his act on Letterman was just that, an act.

Glad to hear it verified.

I haven't read the book, but I did see Cabin Boy, and I loved it! Sue me. :)

6. Yeah. He wasn't "on" during the appearance

He didn't come out and act like some wacky character. He was Chirs Elliot, the person, talking about his comedy.

7. I'm tempted, but I'll probably wait for the paperback.

The jacket notes hooked me.
