It's been a little while, but like the great song says "I'm still here". Do you enjoy a bit of rough and tumble, tongue in cheek humor that tells about the life of an ordinary person who became an extraordinary success? Then I have two words for you.

Bossy. Pants.

But when you are Tina Fey, you put them together and make it the title of your book. Bossypants is a look at what is in the mind of this very funny, very talented, and very versatile actress (except that she admits she always looks like herself no matter what character she's playing). Comedy seems to come so naturally to Fey that this is an interesting look at how crazy and stressful it can be on the performer/writer's  side. Few things can teach how to deal with the unpredictable and unplanned like doing a live comedy tour! Other things we learn? Well, gorgeous photo shoots are not glamorous, make sure you know who's in charge of the lifeboats on your cruise ship, and don't be afraid to push hard for what you know you deserve.

I loved reading the book, but have been told the audiobook (read by Tina Fey) is to die for. I may have to try the Bossypants on again.
