Microthrills: True Stories from a Life of Small Highs Audiobook (Free)

Elevated in Manhattan by her overprotective sex-therapist mom (who wore “nine inches wide of shoulder pads”), Wendy Spero provides always sought excitement in microthrills, the tiny, strange highs that give her life meaning-from obtaining a strip tease video of her grandmother to offering knives door-to-door. As just a little lady, Spero passed the time sniffing fruit-scented markers and breaking up arguments between her imaginary close friends. As a grown-up, in her first office job, she created an unusual relationship with her boss that included as much marijuana-smoking as it did mentoring. Called “a profoundly funny individual” by Time Out New York, Spero is now a comedian surviving in L.A., grappling with such grown-up issues as trying to kick her addiction to eating candy during intercourse and learning how exactly to drive.
