    <body><![CDATA[So this book was recommended to me by one of my managers, a guy who really doesn't read and pretty much the last person I would ever expect to get a book recommendation from. I don't listen to Howard Stern and didn't know who Artie Lange was before starting this book. I went for it based on the recommendation.<br/><br/>I am glad I did. This memoir had a bit of everything. In many parts it had me laughing, loved the &quot;Too Fat to Fish story.&quot; I cried ( a rarity for me) when he was talking about his father. I felt a lot of empathy towards him with all of his ups and downs. I loved his brutal honesty, he doesn't hold back. Overall, the book left me thinking that he is a really sincere, good person, who has and is continuing to have, many problems. He's not perfect and doesn't pretend to be. I don't think you need to know anything about Lange prior to reading this book, to appreciate his memoir.]]></body>
