Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari (NS)

Has anyone read this one yet? 
I was just checking on my hold status for it from the library and was reminded that I'm waiting for the audio book, not the actual book.  I love him and now I'm even more excited for my hold to come up.

  • I'm waiting for the audiobook as well.  I'm really looking forward to it.

  • I absolutely loved it. It's an intersection of Malcolm Glawell-esque sociology and humor and I loved listening to him read the audiobook. It seems like most of the people who didn't like it, were expecting more stand-up type stuff, but it's mostly fact told in a funny way.

  • Awesome!  I'm excited to hear from someone who listened to it! 
  • I loved it, but I also read it immediately after listening to his latest album, and a lot of the jokes were the same.  I wish I had gone the other way around instead.

  • @SusieBW Have you listened to this yet?  I just wrapped it up.

    I'm STILL waiting on my library hold!  Did you love it?

    ETA: I just checked my library hold status, and it says "in transit!"  YAY!
  • I really liked it.  I typically don't like scienc-y non fictions.   I firmly believe that comedians should collaborate with scientists.  Reading their reports would be a lot more entertaining!

    I thought it was a good blend of info and comedy.  Like Julie, I saw the Netflix live show that had a ton of the same info.  And Jeremy saw Aziz a couple of months ago at a marketing convention and he gave me a few details.  So it wasn't revolutionary to me, but I still learned a lot while laughing.

  • I'm intrigued now that you say that you feel like you learned a lot.  I was expecting the book to be more like just funny ramblings about love and relationships, and less actual scienc-y information.  I should be able to pick it up this weekend.  I'll let you know when I'm done.
