Wishful Drinking (Fun with Addiction & Bi-polar Disorder)

[chrisd151]

two funny books i have read are

Asshole: How I Got Rich & Happy by Not Giving a Damn About Anyone & How You Can, Too by Martin Kihn This one is NOT a self help book, but an actual story that well make you look at people slightly different.

And

Making Money (discworld) by Terry Pratchett. This was very funny

[kayleewyatt]

cool vid! cwimc!

[OhCurt]

Thanks!

YouTube working again for you?

:-)

[kayleewyatt]

im being able to login in more, but is spotty

[MYSHELLSEA]

Picked up Wishful Drinking last week....I'm about 4 chapters in..(slow reader)...Very funny!!

Thank you for suggesting this book!

xo

Maddy

[OhCurt]

You're welcome - thanks for letting me know. I'm glad you're liking it.

I think the only people who would have a problem with this one would be anyone who dislikes sarcasm or sardonic wit.

:-D

[filltheframe]

I highly recommend Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore.

[OhCurt]

Christopher Moore is definitely in the lead here. Thanks for adding to that list.

I'm intrigued!!

[Rh1no1]

If you liked that book, I think you'd like Augusten Burroughs. He wrote "Dry" and "Running with Scissors." He's hilarious and clever too!

[OhCurt]

Running with Scissors caught my eye a long while back but I never followed through. Thanks for the reminder!

[bohogirl1]

so i read carrie fisher's book and wrote you a long pm only to find that you only enable friends to pm you. something new? something bad happen?

xoxo b

[OhCurt]

Sorry about that. Yeah, unfortunately there was an onslaught of spam recently. After I shut it off, I put an explanation on my channel page.

It was filling up anyway with stuff I was never going to read but when I sifted through finally and found an old collab clip request, I figured "to hell with this."

Things being imbalanced in Tubeville, my restrictions don't prevent me from sending you a pvt msg here giving you my regular email address.

Your call.

:-)

[bohogirl1]

i would be honoured.

[OhCurt]

I think I saw the email come in. But I'm behind on my inbox.

Sorry!!

:-(

[sugarandlance]

That is a good book! I spilled tea on it though by accident. Oh, I can talk about some good books I started if you like! :)

[OhCurt]

Started - but didn't finish?

Yeah, that would be a whole other series for me too I think.

:-)

[thefirmsk8]

CWIMC? oh curt.. thats not something you want to tell people :) not as cool as lollerskates! i recently read pride and prejudice and ZOMBIES and its really awesome. i died laughing. constantly

[OhCurt]

Lollerskates - LOL!!!

I love that.

:-D

BTW, someone did a video response to this a few days ago talking about that book (among others).

[n00bm3ist3r]

I DONT READ.

T_T

I never got into it. and since my dad does it all the time (I dislike my father), I hate it. a lot.

[OhCurt]

Dude, you're closing yourself off from an entire world to spite someone who won't be effected by it.

Please rethink!

[MrRandomWritings]

does it have a waterproof cover? I always read in the bath and it makes the pages soggy

[OhCurt]

Not sure, let me go test it out...

...I can safely say that this is not something I recommend doing.

[1938superman]

I'm still suing YouTube for the blindness and the earbleeding. I'm typing pretty well for a newly blind guy, huh? What? I can't hear you. My ears are bleeding! Is YouTube liable for impotence? What do you mean that was a pre-existing condition? Lies I tell you! LIES!!!

[OhCurt]

You just tweeted about a steeple.

I plan on tweeting back something rude about you and erect objects.

8-)~

[battim]

i cant help but touch myself when diana is on a video...damn it.

[battim]

oh and ohcurt videos always make my ass bleed for some reason. you know what im talking about

[OhCurt]

OhCurt and his subsidiarys are not liable for any ass bleeding which may occur.

[jvforever72]

on average, this book may have reached the heights of GM-giggle mildy.

[OhCurt]

General Motors?

Hey, if anyone needs a few larfs these days, it's those guys!!

[fehquig]

There are funny books? What a concept...

[OhCurt]

Yeah, and I hear Sarah Palin just released one.

;-)

[MicheleMidnight]

wow...come to think of it...don't think i have read any funny books lately. a few historical books, 1 sci-fi, 1 mystery...but not funny. and i tend to watch funny movies though....go figure...

[OhCurt]

I just watched Airplane! again the other night. Funny movies are often the best cure to a lack of a funny in the course of one's day.

[1DRock37167]

:-)

[OhCurt]

8-)

[NihilistZealot]

I was thinking of buying that... Maybe I will

[OhCurt]

Diana is never wrong.

Okay, she's wrong lots of times. But we don't like to tell her that because she gets loud and scares small children.

[LexiBadger]

I'm currently reading 'Obsession' by Gloria Vanderbilt (Anderson Cooper's mom) for the lulz. Yeah... I can't say I recommend it unless you have some brain bleach on hand. :oP

[OhCurt]

I had no idea she was his mom until reading your comment. WOW!

And anything done for the lulz HAS to be good. LOL

[Blizzeekitty]

I catalog, barcode, cover, glue, tape, and shelf books. Who has time to read them? ;)

[OhCurt]

You read the barcodes.

So you have a window into that world that few of us do.

;-)

[ItsMarcSteele]

I am for sure going to pick this book up :)

[OhCurt]

It's cheap - a wonderful feature to ANY book (or any item period anymore).

:-)

[Arthur40TwoDent]

Great intro and outro. For me funny books for me have allways been anything by Douglas Adams.

[OhCurt]

You're in good company. Captainfury2007 mentioned that he read So Long and Thanks for All the Fish.

:-)

[MGB1000]

ROFL LOL CIWA books...whats that?

[OhCurt]

Books... they're those things we use to prop up couches.

[ShootAndSpin]

I wouldn't mind seeing your "A".

:-D

[OhCurt]

[Blush!]

My A is very humbled

:-D

[ajdpadbury]

I feel so ashamed, I haven't read a book in years, not since I met my better half, now I have someone to talk to on public transport!:)

[OhCurt]

A happy marriage is a good reason not to pick up a book.

:-)

[479Lucy]

ANYTHNIG and everything by Terry Pratchett is funny!

[OhCurt]

I know that name...!!

[21stCenturyCat]

I get it...  you thought it was funny! :)

[OhCurt]

Not really.

But the original version where I cried and threw the book at the wall didn't test well in most markets.

[petuniabelle650]

I forgot to say I cwimc'd while watching this video. And I forgot to say how cute you are. :)

[OhCurt]

Heehee, thanks

And "CWIMC" is hard to pronounce. Any attempt made in public might make a person sound like they need "special assistance" if ya get my drift.

[petuniabelle650]

I loved that, loved you and Princess Diana. She

is so pretty, and has the most gorgeous eyes. I'm glad she didn't have to kick you til you bled to make you read it.

[kenrg]

You made me nervous there, by the fireplace - I kept thinking you were going to toss the book onto the logs. Thanks for the reviews!

[battim]

banner almost done

[OhCurt]

The fireplace is just a red herring.

The herring, however, wound up on the cutting room floor.

Ps. I noticed someone reading a book recently that seemed to be about failing crops. He seemed pretty worked up about it too.

[longhairred]

rotflmao

I want Carrie Fisher's book!

[OhCurt]

It's worth it - and not just because it's a short read or priced really low.

But those things do help!

[artofbrowneyedgirl]

I'll have to fit that into my schedule and read it - sounds like a great xmas gift to me!

[OhCurt]

Gifts to ourselves, FTW!

:-)

[kokohawk]

lol (undercase for a reason) at Di's intro and outro. Very cool. I've only read one book (recommended by Boh3m3) in the last 7 years so I really can't help you in the recommendation department.

[OhCurt]

The beauty of replying to week old comments is that you will get this notice, read what I've written back to you, and wonder, "WTF is he replying to week old comments and WTF did I even leave as a comment anyway?"

BTW, it's totally freezing here today. I actually had to put shoes on to go outside.

[kokohawk]

Yeah, I always go WTF did I type that he's responding to. So I have to go back to the video to remember which one it was and WTF I said in the first place. Sure enough this case was no different.

[kismet0717]

Awe Diana....She says the sweetest things! HAHAHAHA

I'm sorry Curt were you talking about something? I was too busy fawning all over Diana. heheheh Have not seen her in forever!

Oh yes...books. I read  Wishful Drinking... it was delightful!

I'm currently rereading Bukowski... Ham on Rye! I'm doing the book nostalgia thing right now!

I will however have to glean over the comments for more book suggestions.

Oh and... Great vlog!!

Hugz and thx sugar!

[OhCurt]

Diana's just looking out for us (and perhaps even AT us...yikes!).

Book nostalgia at this time of year is like a warm blanket for the brain (or can be, at least).

Thanks!

[AngryAussie]

Neil Gaiman's "Anansi Boys" is hilarious. It's kind of a sequel to "American Gods" but you don't need to read American Gods first. Although you should read it too because it's a totally awesome book.

[OhCurt]

I love the spelling of that author's last name. I have visions of him being beaten to a pulp in the schoolyard, yikes!

It's been a week. Do you even remember writing this comment? LOL

[PappyStu]

We used to keep our disorders to our selves but now we write books about them so everyone can laugh at us... Perhaps I've been writting the wrong things... VBG

[OhCurt]

There's been a discussion on Twitter (yes, I went back... you are right to judge me) over when "reality" TV shows really came to be. I had thought "An American Family" that focused on the Loud family was the first but it appears there was something in the UK dating back to 1964.

Anyway, my point... did I have one??... is that this routine of baring all was set in motion a while back. Who knew it would get to where it currently is.

I think I probably digressed.

[PappyStu]

LOL

haven't gone there as the terminology strikes my fancy wrong...

can't tweet can't twitter...

[anniehiggy]

I have uppercase EXCITEMENT to read Fisher's book! (Thank you PrincessDiana161, for forcing Curt to read it.)

[OhCurt]

She made me cry!!!

8-|

Let me know what you thought of it after you've read it.

[rewboss]

Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.

[OhCurt]

Fiction - cool.

I've been a total slacker in that arena. Still a bit too drawn to the 'true story' stuff, which... well... sometimes proves to not be so true.

D'oh.

[thizizliz]

Mainstream: Anything by David Sedaris or George Carlin. I also read an autobiography by George Burns. Not only laughter amidst the pathos but you can hear his voice as you read.

[OhCurt]

Remembering how George Burns was on stage (and in the movie "Oh God") that makes sense.

David Sedaris is one I need to revisit. I read Naked about 5 years ago and never got around to picking up his others...!

[NiteBlogger]

Curt - wanted to do a response vid, but little granny took it over! grrrrr

[OhCurt]

And it were good.

I did comment over there, yes? ...yes, yes I did.

Whew.

Thanks again

[LeSaMilano]

reading for *pleasure* is a luxury right now but I have half term coming up and need a breather from reading theory books and technical bollox.

manic depression runs in my family so it may be worth a read - it's not always something to laugh about but we can all use a little laughter now and then!

Oh. Sorry. I didn't heed Diana's warning!

[OhCurt]

Diana's gonna start handing out failing grades if she ever wanders back into this comment section.

*fair warning*

I didn't think anyone would be able to draw this much humor out of some of these things but was pretty blown away. There are some serious moments, and a poignant discussion of her daughter toward the end, but the rest of the time I was having to put the book down and catch my breath (and feeling a little guilty in the process).

Ps. 6 days??! COMMENT REPLY FAIL!!

[obsquatch]

I'm gonna read it. I like getting books recommended to me. I really liked Lamb by Christopher Moore and the introduction, chapter six, and chapeter eight of Fucking Daphne by Daphne Gottlieb. The rest of the book is mostly angst-ridden-dyke-shock-lit, which is my favorite shelf at Borders. Oh, and if you didn't know, I hate e-bbreviations, so be careful or I might PUITN(uts). Fair warning. I love you?

[OhCurt]

Feelin' the love here!

Well, not below the belt line anyhood.

;-)

This Christopher Moore book seems to be the most suggested one in this comment batch. It sounds subversive and silly. I like that combo!

*Thanks*

[hallbe]

What was that? oh...a video! Oh sorry...At Diana's suggestion, I started touching myself...and got carried away!

[OhCurt]

You're a rebel and you never does what you should!

[banditgirly]

OMG CWIMC!

[OhCurt]

:-)

[Ranblv]

"Making History" by Stephen fry is guaranteed to make LOLOMGROFLOL or whatever the trendy acronyms are :-)

[OhCurt]

My eyes are so shot they can't even distinguish which letters are even in that mess, Ran.

LOL (for real)

[Skaramine]

You make me LOL out loud!

*sigh* I love Carrie Fisher. She was my first "adult crush" after Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Tatum O'Neal in International Velvet.

Of course, "adult" was aged 7.

[OhCurt]

These days by the age of 7 they know more about adult things than we do.

They'll overthrow us one day because of it, I just know it!

Tatum O'Neal = WIN!

[Skaramine]

Between Tatum and Elizabeth Taylor in the original National Velvet, I written many a romantic partner for my writing heroes named Velvet... though I stopped a while when Eddie Murphy played a pimp named Velvet. >:(

As for them taking over, old age and treachery always win out over youth and vigor. ;)

[HaleyMary]

CWIMC. That's a new one. :)

Thanks for the review. I just might go check that book out.

As for light hearted books to recommend. Nothing too exciting really. The best I can think of are the Sweet Valley High series and Jane of Lantern Hill by L.M. Montgomery.

[OhCurt]

I hadn't heard of Lantern Hill before. Further proof that it's next to impossible to keep track of everything there is to read.

Besides, you've had school related stuff on your plate. That usually more than satisfies any hunger. LOL

[RobNorthampton]

I saw her in an informal interview at her home with Stephen Fry, who is doing so much to try to dispel the stigma involved with mental health. I liked her. She is nutty as a fruit cake. A woman after my own heart. Thanks for the nod. Off to Amazon. Now where did I put my canoe...?

[OhCurt]

The two of them together... I can just imagine. LOL

Hey, if you find a spare oar floating about, that might be mine.

I stole it from someone else, of course...

[RobNorthampton]

Was it *really* someone else? Or could it have just been Curt III, just one of your other identities?

I've told you before! Keep taking the tablets!

;-)

[OhCurt]

The clones have created more problems than they were ever worth.

That's all I'm sayin'!

[popping tablet as instructed]

[3CoolKats]

Yikes, I'm 3 days behind on YouTube videos right now. No way have I had a chance to read a book. I am however a professional when it comes to upper case LOL's:)

[3CoolKats]

Also when I first saw you lighting up that thing in the fireplace I thought it was one of those Whitman's Sampler candy boxes and I thought this was going to be some sort of diet rant or something, LOL.

[OhCurt]

Mmmm, candy samplers!!

I'm 6 days behind on replying to comments on videos, but I promise it wasn't for the sake of being competitive.

8-P

[captainfury2007]

The last funny book I read was So Long and Thanks for all the Fish.

[OhCurt]

I had to google that one to find out why it sounded familiar.

Douglas Adams, FTW!

[UpJumpUp]

Oh shit ... Curt ... I owe you a huge huge huge apology man.

I don't even know what I wrote you last time, and I was too embarrassed to read your reply, but I was super drunk and I think I made a total ass of myself on one of your videos.

My utmost apologies man :S

[OhCurt]

No apologies needed, I promise. Your comment wasn't offensive in any way. I actually got a chuckle out of it. Kinda seemed complimentary in a way.

Looking forward to your next upload, dude!

:-)

[JipsiTV]

Youtube's official odd couple... :)

'Purple America' - by Rick Moody

[OhCurt]

Purple??

Does Prince know about this? He's totally gonna DMCA that author!

;-P

[Zublime75]

sounds like a fun book to read...

Loved the intro/outro Diana is like cream cheese, it makes everything so good!! lol She's going to kick my ass now.... kbay!

[OhCurt]

Distracting Diana is easy. Just throw something shiny in her path and run in the opposite direction. LOL

[HumanBlade666]

I love to read all types of books. I am reading Why We Suck By Dennis Leary. I highly recomend it.

James

[OhCurt]

LOL - I love that title. And imagining Leary's voice uttering it... HA!

[mtamorphis]

The only thing funny I have read lately would be over on the tweet board. Now Curt...how the hell am I going to read a book at this time?! I know I love to play superwoman but dammit I'm drawing the line at additional reading! ;)

[OhCurt]

Books for pleasure... school really does a number on this!

And you ARE superwoman. We've seen the evidence. There's no hiding anymore, sorry!

:-)

[kv0323]

Oh my goodness, it has been so long since I have seen Diana. What a treat. I thought I was going to cry. Amazing.

:)

[OhCurt]

:-)

She's still around. Just taking a breather from uploading.

[qiranger]

I loved it when she was on WWDM.

[OhCurt]

WWDM?

[NLPNVC]

"Brian droppings" by George Carlin has me chuckling and pondering quite a bit. Questions like "Why don't they have dessert at breakfast" just need to be asked from time time. Diana rocks as do you. Thanks for the tip.

[OhCurt]

Carlin rocked more than any of us, me thinks.

Can't wait to read his auto-bio (mostly completed before his death).

[JimmerSD]

I saw her on Charlie Rose a couple weeks ago and I have definitely put that book on the reading list. Lamb by Christopher Moore is a good read. Hell, any Chris Moore book is a good read.

[OhCurt]

You and Mr. Tubious are among a vocal crowd here. I think I'm going to have to sniff this one out.

Thanks!

[JimmerSD]

I guarantee that you will be hooked on his stuff. It's silly and thoughtful all at the same time. Call it mind candy. After you get done with that one try maybe the "Fluke" or considering the season "The Stupidest Angel".

:)

[boobtubious]

I just read Lamb by Christopher Moore it is a gospel written by Christ's child hood friend Biff. It is hilarious and sacriligious, or sacrilarious as I like to call it! Highly recommend it :)

[JimmerSD]

Tag

[boobtubious]

Am I "it" now?

[JimmerSD]

I can't believe that we both recommended the same book simultaneously. Cool.

[boobtubious]

Ha! I didn't see that post. jinx.. by me a coke!

[OhCurt]

Did anyone ever get their coke?

Actually, I'll have a Sprite, please.

[BaubleRob]

Bad Science by Ben Goldacre. It's about a serious topic (the misuse of science by the media) but it's 100% hilarious. It was dirt cheap on the UK Amazon too.

[OhCurt]

Sounds like it would make a cool companion to the Idiot America book I've been reading (slowly thanks to interruptions). Human beings really are a mess, aren't th... we?

:-)

[vmanvand]

I really don't know what to say. You know typing with one hand is hard, no pun intended.....lol

[OhCurt]

Good thing Diana didn't see this comment. ;-P

[vmanvand]

Good thing my wife didn't see after watching....lol

[jabbabird]

*running to the bookstore right now. Actually, that is a lie. I don't really "run" anywhere unless being chased, and I really don't have any intention of leaving the house tonight. But I will be out and about tomorrow so I will try to remember to get it then. But my memory is really spotty lately. You know, stress and all...wait, what are we talking about?

[OhCurt]

Remembering the topic at hand is over rated. That's why Al Gore invented the non seuitur.

Example...

Johnny: Hi, Mary. I'm going to the crack den tonight. Would you like to come too?

Mary: OH LOOK! SOMETHING SHINY!

[jabbabird]

You had me at "something shiny". *tear

[Chivalryaintdead]

The F? haha WTF DOK!!?  (eating a carrot)

[OhCurt]

Be vewwy vewwy qwiet...

;-P

[Chivalryaintdead]

You are huwtwing wabbits??

[lifewithbeenie]

i feel like i just watched a somewhat mature version of Reading Rainbow, "but you don't have to take my word for it."

;) hehe

[OhCurt]

LOL - I remember that show.

The theme song still makes me think of Star Trek Next Generation, though.

Oy.

[anakin1814]

I love how you LMAORFLOAM:LDS etc. as you're wearing you're I heart NY shirt. If I knew I was going to have to read while watching this video, I'd have watched PBS!!

I have a John Lennon and Michael jackson bio that I'm going to read once I get done with the new Stephen King book. I think I do need some light reading!

[OhCurt]

If you're into lighthearted reading, I know of several twitter accounts you could follow.

emo4emo?

;-P

[anakin1814]

I'd say they're more bi-polar than they are light-hearted!

[OhCurt]

disorder 4 disorder ?

[BoomerChick55]

I mostly read haunted house books. Just read Outliers tho, it was interesting.

[OhCurt]

Outliers... (did a google search)

Ah, okay, cool. Well, if anything can be learned from those folks, all the better.

:-)

[BoomerChick55]

Outliers is about how people get to be the best at what they do.

[Dozzer]

Diana caught me >.> crafty woman.

I totally thought you were gonna throw the book into the fire. Maybe i wished .... maybe both?

[OhCurt]

Careful now, she's watching you.

;-D

LOL - you and about two or three others here seemed to have that same suspicion. I'm going to keep it in mind for when a book disappoints me.

[Braehawk]

The first minute and some change of this video had me thinking "W T F" but anyway, I heard about the Carrie Fisher book, so I believe I'll pick it up if I spot it.

[OhCurt]

That's a valid response to the first part of the video, yes.

:-)

[Perroquet51]

I haven't read anything funny for a long time, however, I did hear Carrie on NPR a couple of years ago talking about her alcoholism. I laughed my ass off during the interview. Unfortunately, NPR got several complaints about it. Apparently, some people are out to get as much pity as possible and hate it when others try to see the humor in otherwise sad situations.

[OhCurt]

Wow... well, I'd say that was shocking but it really isn't. Some people just get way too freakin' uptight. And stuff like that just makes those interviews more well known. People WITH a sense of humor will seek that stuff out and share it.

[tommy30507]

Curt, thanks for the great video. Though, the books I am about to mention are not funny...they're great. Just finished reading..."Blue Highways" by William Least Heat-Moon. It was FANTASTIC!. Presently, I am reading the second installment in the trilolgy....PrairyErth...Thank you for taking time to promote READING!!!!!!!

[OhCurt]

Thanks, Ronnie.

I think I do these to push myself more than anything.

The "Blue Highways" book sounds familiar (looking it up in another tab as I type). AH, okay! No wonder this sounded familiar. We discussed this briefly in one of my American History classes.

:-)

Thanks!

[PrincessDiana161]

OMG you couldn't make me a lil smaller?? I look like a friggin giant head ready to bite someone LOL

Oh i have George Carlin's Last Words on my waiting list at the library and a few others.... I'll definitely let you know how that is as soon as I get it.

[OhCurt]

Wait til I remix that footage for the techno dance remix video "The PrincessDiana161 that Ate New Jersey!"

Carlin's book still has me drooling. When I finally get a copy, I will clutch it closely and call it precious... precious.. my precious!

[PrincessDiana161]

Why is it every time you respond to me I feel the need for a Silkwood shower???

[OhCurt]

Don't stand too close to the keyboard, Claryce.

[audionautix]

Another very entertaining and concise couple of book reviews. Thanks for using so much of my music. If you ever need something custom, just let me know. You've earned it. Meanwhile I'll keep cranking things out.

[OhCurt]

Thank you for the offer, Jason!

I'm still keeping an eye out for possible reasons to reuse the Ask Rufus theme you did for us. There has to be new life in that lil' bugger.

:-)

[brojoghost]

I'm glad I am awake enough to keep up with all those a.c.r.o.n.y.m.s. :p

[OhCurt]

There should be an acronym for that.

8-)

[ItalianStallionette]

Truthfully, Princess Leah maks my panties wet too!

[OhCurt]

Han Solo make my light saber glow.

W00T!

[ItalianStallionette]

Diana makes my panties wet!

[sunsetlover]

its a small vook with about 15 small storys 1 to 5 page stores.... very very nice...

ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN" by Robert Fulghum

[OhCurt]

I think I read that one years ago. It's a shame I can't remember for sure, tho.

Thanks

[sunsetlover]

if you read it, You would remember the story about the lady coming out of her house looking amazing and she walks right into a spider web, then it turns to the part of the spider and what he see's

[samsarajade]

Princess Diana is ALWAYS right!

I haven't read any funny books lately, although parts of Ozzy Osbournes biography did make me laugh, some of it was quite poignant too!

[OhCurt]

Yes she is! (she paid me to say that)

;-P

Given Ozzy's history (what's publicly known without reading a bio), I'd guess that equal amounts hilarious and poignant would make perfect sense.

[bohogirl1]

i just put a hold on carrie fisher's book at my library. i'll take your word for how good it is. i'm always looking for well-written books.

[OhCurt]

The library is the way to go (not that plunking cash down for these things is bad, but still).

Yeah, it's well written. Mostly conversational, in fact. Diana said when she read it she felt like she was visiting with someone rather than just reading something they wrote. I had pretty much the same feeling as well.

[wutzernutzer]

I saw her on The View promoting it and she is freaking hilarious. Her book is on my reading list but I've got a few biographies/non fiction titles still to get through. I'm trying to read 3 books at once. Not advisable. :-)

Funny book...Survival Of The Dumbest by comedian Wil Anderson. He's like a 12 year old boy with razor sharp wit. You'll have to get it online though. I think it's only been released in Australia.

[OhCurt]

3 at once? That's the acrobatic approach to reading!

;-)

I didn't see that appearance on The View but apparently she joked on Twitter about blurting out some curse word or something. Whatever it was, I'm sure it was tame compared to some of the things she brings up in the book.

That Australian title sounds intriguing - and perhaps a little too relatable from my first hand experience. Yikes.

Thanks!
