Cara’s Finds
—Funny reads. If I could pick my next best friend, it be Chelsea Handler. She is hilarious–and a great writer! Over vacation I read Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea, a collection of funny short stories from Chelsea’s life. I loved it so much I bought another copy for a friend who needed a good laugh. Now I’m now reading My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One Night Stands. If you’re a David Sedaris fan, you’ll love Chelsea’s style of dry, sarcastic humor, too. You can also watch her on In the Motherhood, a series of webisodes I’ve written about before. And on Chelsea Lately, her own talk show on E!

Love Chelsea Handler, too. I’ll have to check out that book! (And sip on a vodka drink while doing so perhaps.) 😉
I won’t be able to watch the Holly Hunter show because the fact that she only talks out of one side of her mouth totally distracts me to the point of obsession. But, the rest sound good 🙂
I’m gonna have to snag that Chelsea book for a good laugh 🙂
I’m going to get Michael Ian Black’s book! I love him. Even if he’s spatting with Sedaris.
Wow – this has been a fabulous book club edition of Friday Finds.
I love Chelsea Handler. I TIVO her show. I can’t stay up late enough (pathetic I know).
I am reading that book now. She is pretty darn funny!
Katie–
I can’t stand Holly Hunter for that reason as well.
Chelsea’s book is great…I want her to be my new BFF too! I’ve really been enjoying how each chapter is a different little funny story. It’s really been the perfect little escape for me. Thanks, Cara. 🙂
This book is out book club book this month. I ignored my family and read it in a day, laughing aloud, of course.
