Tina Fey, BOSSYPANTS

A very very fun read, and just what you'd expect from Fey. She's willing to show pictures of her terrible shag haircut and tell ridiculous stories about her childhood (the one about getting her period and not knowing what it was--because she thought it was blue like laundry detergent--that's what the ads on TV made it look like--that story made me howl). But she also sketches portraits of people she loves, makes light of how hard she works, fesses up to her worries and mistakes, and pretty well lays waste to those who sustain the sexism in her industry. I read it in two hours on the plane ride home, quick and enjoyable.

  1. Loved Bossypants!! Tina Fey is so fantastic -- thought she hit a great balance of comedy, biography, life-lessons, and putting everything in perspective.

  2. I enjoyed this one too. I listened in one stretch on a Saturday afternoon and wished it was longer.
