Thrift Store by Bebe Nicholson
I found this book at a laundromat in California while I was passing through the state. Its full title is actually Thrift Store: Shop, Cook, Laugh…But Don’t Call the Police. The book looks silly and goofy, which is why it caught my eye. Thrift Store is a compilation of anecdotes…

I rarely read celebrity biographies anymore because they usually suck and are mostly ghostwritten. I read this one because I liked Sarah Silverman at one point, even though I don’t anymore. Its full title is The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee. I used to think Sarah Silverman would…

Talk to the Hand by Lynne Truss
Talk to the Hand has a fun subtitle: “The Utter Bloody Rudeness of the World Today, or Six Good Reasons to Stay Home and Bolt the Door.” That’s cute. In this one, Lynne Truss (who also wrote Eats, Shoots, and Leaves about grammar gripes) goes on a formal rant about…
