Laugh out loud funny, a collection of essays on random topics - Kurt Vonnegut, reality TV, Republicans, the author's sexual coming of age. Sometimes the book reminded me of Anne Lamott's work - the self-deprecating, political, wry writing of Operating Instructions - though Steve Almond is more political, more outrageous, and less religious. Light and funny.

Make sure to ready Candyfreak, also by Steve Almond. I loved it so much I went out and read the rest of his books, although I didn't end up liking any of them (including Not That You Asked) nearly as much. Candyfreak is about Steve's pornographic relationship to candy. There's just no other way to put it.
