Book 22: Let's Pretend This Never Happened

Do you read The Bloggess?  No?  Click the link.  I'll wait.


Jenny Lawson's memoir is screamingly funny.  I am torn between wanting to make all my friends read it and not.  If they read it, they will certainly find me less weird.  On the other side of that equation, if they read it, they will certainly find me less funny too. 

Jenny grew up in Texas with the  most profoundly weird father since Gomez Addams.  Can you handle reading about taxidermy?  What about a duck that gets eaten by hoboes?  The story of her courtship with Victor is very sweet.  And there is a chapter about her pug, Barnaby, that made me cry and laugh and cry and laugh.
