I See You Have Called In Dead

 John Kenney is the author of the comedic novel called I See You Have Called In Dead. I listened to the book via audio-book. I think if you are a fan of the old TV series "The Office" you would like this book. The main character is Bud Stanley. Bud's job is to write obituaries. Bud struggles in life. He seems to be afraid to live. His wife leaves him for a more interesting man. One night, after drinking too much scotch, he writes his own obituary and sends it in. His company wants to fire him but they can't because he is now classified as dead. With the help and encouragement of a good friend named Tom, Bud makes a change for the better. He attends the funerals of strangers so he can learn how to truly live.
