Lewis Black
He survived Hebrew school and a bar mitzvah (barely), was a 60's college student who saw the parallels between religious rapture and drug-induced visions (even if none of his friends did), explored the self-actualization movement of the 70's (and the self-indulgence it engendered), and turned a cynical eye toward politicians who don the cloak of religious rectitude to cover up their own hypocrisy.
What he learned about the inconsistencies and peculiarities of religion infuriated Black, and in Me of Little Faith they get his full comic attention. In a series of comedic inquiries, Black explores how the rules and constraints of religion have affected his life and the lives of us all.
Hilarious experiences with rabbis, Mormons, gurus, psychics, and even the joy of a perfect round of golf give Black the chance to expound upon what we believe and why - in the language of a shock jock and with the heart of an iconoclast.

although I feel like the book lost some direction in the later 1/4 (as can happen when a joke goes on a while) I'm still very glad to have listened to it in Lewis's own voice. Honestly, it did leave me with a few deeper meanings to weight, the insights of which in sure will reveal themselves in time.
it was also quite and unexpected treat to hear the voice of Mark Linn-Baker in the last act of the performance. Mr.Linn-Baker was a great source of entertainment on perfect strangers along side Bronson Pinchot. in fact I think it's perhaps perfect that I be reminded of perfect strangers, for as a child with a very turbulent upbringing the show often brought me comfort and joy. The power of comedy knows no age after all.
Lewis has made me realize I need to work harder to laugh again. even in these awful times.
a religious experience, to be sure

I've been a fan of Black's stand up comedy for many years and love watching him on The Daily Show. He tackles more serious/controversial topics like politics and religion, and in spite of his heavy cursing (which doesn't bother me but might be a deal-breaker for some) provides smart comedy. I think Black is a very intelligent person. In Me of Little Faith, he tells stories of his childhood and takes on gurus and televangelists.
I also read Black's I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas but didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I was entertained by Me of Little Faith. Books written by comedians tend to be hit or miss for me. Even within this book, I didn't find the play at the end very funny. Although I understand the premise, it didn't make me laugh. Listening to the audiobook didn't help. You're not missing anything if you skip it.
However, I recommend choosing the audiobook in this case (and in general when it's a book written by a comedian) because I don't know that Black's voice would come across otherwise.
Skip the play at the end - No FOMO
