I’m assuming everyone has watched the Netflix series by now. Because if you haven’t, then I don’t understand what you are doing with your life. Do you not like being happy? Do you not liking having nice things? The show and the book are very different. But, if you were shying away from picking up the book because Nexflix Piper is a tool, Book Piper is much, much better (as is Book Larry, not that that is much of a feat). But there’s also more of […]
“Benedict Cumberbatch is like Alan Rickman Benjamin Buttoning”
Back in October 2012, when I finally decided to see what all these Cannonballers were on about when they kept gushing about a strange-looking book with a taxidermied mouse on the cover, and gave in and read Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, I didn’t actually know who the Bloggess was. What a sad and empty place my life was up until that point. Once I actually read her first book, I also went out and bought it in audio book (She sings the chapter titles […]
Yes, you!
On the complete opposite side of the spectrum from goth girl writes about working in a funeral home, we have the delightful Mindy Kaling, back again with more tales of awkwardness and woe. I don’t think I liked this one quite as much as her first, but I still found it a lot of fun. “Work hard, know your shit, show your shit, and then feel entitled. Listen to no one except the two smartest and kindest adults you know, and that doesn’t always mean your […]
Mindy Kaling is my soup snake
I finished Why Not Me in less than 18 hours (eight of which I was sleeping) which is probably why my husband would have preferred me checking out Miss Kaling’s latest from the local library but he was clearly delusional if I was waiting for 32 other people to finish first. Besides I already have my own waitlist forming between friends and family members so it was clearly a must-buy. I have avoided reading the other reviews of Why Not Me because I wanted to […]
Tricky Dick
While I love the movie Dick I graduated high school knowing the true identity of Deepthroat. I was born about 15 years after January 1973 but it is impossible to be an American citizen and be unaware of the three events that make up Robenalt’s book. In a strange way, the abortion decision matched Nixon’s political manifesto of self-reliance and his new “ask what I can do for myself” philosophy. A run down of what is covered in a brief 308 pages: – Roe v. […]
“Entitlement in itself isn’t so bad. Entitlement is simply the belief that you deserve something.”
Back in 2012, before the husband and I had spent a few weeks of the summer catching up on what was then available of the American version of The Office, I read Mindy Kaling’s first book Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me? and liked it, and her, a lot. Once Mindy Kaling got her own show, The Mindy Project, I even watched all of the first season and about half of the second season before I got distracted by other shows, reading and computer games. Any […]
