According to this book's instructions, “Some of these texts are stand-ups. This means that you can learn them by heart and recite them standing up, if not to a wider audience, at least to your fiancé, cousin or -even better- a complete stranger queuing in front of you at the bank. To tell you the truth, I personally haven't learnt by heart or recited any of these texts, but I would gladly reread Thomas Mylonas’ stories, silently at least, for a second and third time.
