Book Review: Bright Lights, Big Ass


I love reading memoirs (see David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs for reference. If you don't know who these people are, shame on you.) and this witty author is a new personal fave. You have to love this book based on the title alone:


To explain the awesome, laugh-out-loud appeal of this book, here is a sample section. Enjoy! And if you don't like it I don't think I can be friends with you:

"Fortunately, I did finally convince her to pack away Sandy, the previous inhabitant of this room. Sandy was the doll my mom made me in fourth grade. She was life-sized and wore my brownie uniform and was one of the best Christmas presents I ever got. Unfortunately, Fletch [her husband] found her flat-out creepy and never slept well in the room because he was afraid Sandy was going to come to life and strangle him with her long, cotton-stuffed panty-hose arms."
