Bossypants: A book I like

Look how tricky I am. I said I wasn't going to write about just books but here I am, with my very first post, and it's about a book. This book is hilarious. It's by Tina Fey, which should tell you something right off the bat. I bought it for my Mom for her birthday and then promptly stole it and did not return it until after I had finished the entire book.

This book had me laughing so hard I was crying. I always knew Tina Fey was funny, but this book is seriously pure gold. Her self deprecating humor begins early on in the book as she talks about her childhood as an fugly duckling...who later grew into a still fugly, socially awkward grownup duckling with no fashion sense and a witty tongue. (Of course,  you'd feel bad laughing about it for too long if were true...but since Tina Fey is gorgeous and hilarious and famous now, it kind of balances out in my mind.) A lot of the humor in this book is aimed at the female sex...but most men will enjoy it too. (Unless the man in question is a caveman, a sexist jerk, or Sarah Palin's husband.)
