  <default-description>So begins a year in the life of The Man Who Fell Asleepartist, thinker, writer, North Londoner, and alter-ego of Greg Stekelman, the bastard lovechild that James Thurber, Mark Twain, and Eddie Izzard never had. Part novel, part journal, part snippets of conversation overheard on television, part collection of drawings of Kevin Spacey and Condaleeza Rice, this unique diary is guaranteed to have you weeping with bemused laughter before you reach the end of the first chapter. Fans of Eddie Izzard or James Thurber will be in their element herebut this is a book that will appeal to anyone who likes their humour with a side-salad of surrealism.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I've found a new book to add to my list of favorites: A Year in the Life of the Man Who Fell Asleep is by far the best satire I've read in years.<br/><br/>The Man Who Fell Asleep began life as a blogging project, but that's where all semblance of order or continuity fly out the window.

    <body><![CDATA[I first read the joke section online, and I found it hilarious.  I found the book quite hit or miss, but generally hit.  I would recommend it to anyone who likes this style of humour, I would say it's quite British, but I'm not sure!  However, I do feel some people would not find it funny at all.]]></body>
