Bridget Jones's Diary1081 reviews
Helen Fielding, 1998
Traci Bennett is the BEST for this book on CD
+ The epitome of brit chik lit?
+ Hilarious, and quenches the romantic thirst!
I had listened to this book through the library and then borrowed it again later, but with a different reader. It was not NEARLY as entertaining by the other reader, so you ONLY want the one read by Traci Bennett!

Riverhead Trade, 2002
Very Helpful In Understanding Depression
+ On The Mark
+ Helpful In Many Ways
I've gone through my share of depression, as many others have before me. As bad as I thought I had it, after reading this book I realize just how lucky I was.
Wurtzel's book was gripping, using very raw and blunt language, which I connected with easily. And such a quick, easy read. Made me want ...

David Wojnarowicz: Brush Fires in the Social Landscape 2 reviews
Aperture, 2002
Beautiful Wojnarowicz
+ AIDS before the cocktail; New York City before Giuliani
David Wojnarowicz is presented here almost in his total artistic form (only the music playing and the filmmaking are absent). The paintings and photographs -- beautifully reproduced -- go together with sparse writings by the artist. Adding to this first-hand material, there are several very ...

Fourth Comings: A Novel (Jessica Darling)30 reviews
Megan Mccafferty
Crown, 2007
What. Ever. For. Ever.
+ very funny
+ POSSIBLY THE BEST SERIES I'VE EVER READ.
We first met Jessica Darling in _Sloppy Firsts_ when she was a fifteen-year-old New Jersey sophomore, smart, angst-ridden, and very confused about what life was supposed to be. She thought too much and over-analyzed everything. The second book took her through high school graduation and the third ...

Me Talk Pretty One Day734 reviews
David Sedaris, 2001
David Sedaris does it again!
+ Not heartwarming... in a good way.
+ Loved it!
I think I have now read or listened to all of David Sedaris' books or audiobooks. I prefer the audiobooks as he tells it the way he writes it. Just sit back and enjoy. No one tells a story like David Sedaris. You'll laugh til you cry.

Neil Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors is a collection of his short stories and poems. Like his other short story/poem collection titled Fragile Things, this book too has an introduction with commentary of each of the stories and poems contained within. For me, this introduction is the best part of the ...
