Werewolves and Lollipops (Sub Pop, 2007) by Patton Oswalt

Patton Oswalt is a former English major, which should come as no surprise, considering this masterfully written  stand-up comedy set.  From referencing This Mortal Coil to admitting that his “geekiness is getting in the way of (his) nerdiness,” Patton never undervalues the audience and that allows him to transition smoothly over a wide variety of topics.  Much like George Carlin before him, Oswalt challenges listeners just as much as he entertains them.
