Must Read

In the Mood for a Great Read?

Completely Frivolous and totally Entertaining?
So funny that you can't put it down, but are thrilled by the short quick chapters so that you can continue with your life?


Have I got a book for you!Anousha sent this book to me for Christmas. She has a very eclectic sense of style when it comes to reading material. Last year she sent a book of twisted fairy tales (which was also a good read) and another of family dynamics... for the most part Anousha tends toward non-fiction. While I generally love fiction (the point of reading is not remember my current life. Case in Point: Confessions of a Shopaholic: Good fiction book, but marred for me by the fact that I was a true Shopaholic addicted to the long-gone credit cards at the time I read it.) I always read what Anousha sends... it's generally good, or at least quirky, and I feel much more like a literary when I read these things.

So... anyway, Anousha sends me Chelsea Handler's latest book. I have never read anything by her. I've never seen her stand-up show. I tried watching her show on E! one night, but was slightly annoyed by the fact that I had no idea what her fascination with Little People or "Nuggets" as she calls them was, or if her show was scripted or real... . It kind of reminded me of Craig Ferguson... but not. The little Chuey guy creeped me out. Seriously. So, I changed the channel. Well... I opened up Are You There Vodka, It's Me, Chelsea, I read the first 3 pages and about died laughing. She is HIGH-larious! Seriously funny.
My favorite Chapter... the one that she goes on and on about her obsession with a Little Person named Jenny I think... can't remember the name. But anyway, she goes on and on about why she loves the "Nuggets" how they're the next best thing to hold - the first being fat babies. And how she wants to dress them up and take care of them... how she can't seem to comprehend that they are small adults, not children. It's great.

You must read! ***WARNING*** There is a lot of references to drinking, smoking stuff, overeating, general sex, vibrators, Little People, and swearing. Just giving you a heads up.
This may be an actual book that Shannon might enjoy. : )
