Cheap Drunk: An Autobiography (Warner Bros., 2002) by Bill Engvall

I was initially introduced to Blue Collar Comedy via Jeff Foxworthy.  Beyond his famous "you might be a redneck" routine, there was a great storyteller and comedian.  I say the same thing about Bill Engvall.  His routines aren't exactly non-stop laughter, but they are fun laid back routines about middle age and raising a family.  I'm a huge fan of deep/political comedy (i.e. David Cross) too, but I think Engvall serves as a great balance to that intensity.  Some of my favorite bits on this album are the ones about life after two decades of marriage and his story about pair sailing on Vicodin.
