How to Be Good291 reviews Nick Hornby Riverhead Trade, 2002 Makes me want to be good... or at least better Nick Hornby is quickly becoming my favorite author. I loved "A Long Way Down" and "About a Boy." I don't know which is my favorite, but "How to Be Good" is every bit as good as the others. It's painful in its accuracy of the internal conflict every person faces when debating living comfortably ...             Freddy and Fredericka59 reviews Mark Helprin Penguin Press HC, The, 2005 What Could Have Been + Freddy and Fredericka + Deja Vu + A bit long, but absolutely worth it. + Fierce & Humorous Satire             The Most Of P.G.

It was one of those books I meant to ...             The Sweet Potato Queens' First Big-Ass Novel: Stuff We Didn't Actually Do, but Could Have, and May Yet28 reviews Jill Conner Browne Simon & Schuster, 2007 This is flippin' hilarious! + A good laugh and some great stories + A Light Summer Read This is one of my all time favorite books!

Found some of the characters to be quite true to life, and reflected some of the horror of TV hosts that we are subjected to on these shopping networks!             A Confederacy of Dunces960 reviews John Kennedy Toole Louisiana State University Press, 2000 Hilarious, dark, brilliant + HILARIOUS! One of the funniest books I've ever read. I was giggling the entire way through. The main character, Ignatius Riley, is one-of-a-kind and unforgettable.

I laughed out loud many times. I liked it. My review isn't much to go on, but it's my opinion and when you boil down all the crap in all reviews, whether good or bad, that's all they are...just subjective opinions. My opinion is all that matters...trust me. HA!             I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence210 reviews Amy Sedaris Grand Central Publishing, 2006 This book is not for ladies who want to serve tea and sandwiches... + Funny, but falls flat + Wow! This Is Good Stuff! I love this book. She is a genius. Writing & photos are funy, and I want to try the recipes! BUT, it isn't for everyone. I was reading the 1 star reviews, and was sorry to see how people weren't getting it. It is a Kitschy, Rated R, humorous book on hospitality. If you don't like swear words, ...             Chart Throb3 reviews Ben Elton Transworld Publishers, 2008 Humorous and Insightful. + Must read for anyone who has ever marveled at the reality tv phenomenon + Enjoyable, very similar to "Dead Famous" It's good to see Ben Elton returning again to the literary genre he does best - Comic Satire.

Mark Hadden has a great touch in pointing out the bizarre in every day life, in an appropriately understated way.
