OK, pretty much peed my pants on this one. Jenny Lawsons "mostly true" memoir was laugh out loud funny; literally. I got to laughing so hard on a South African Air flight earlier this week I thought an airmarshall was going to show up and hand cuff me to me seat "just in case". My book group is reading this and its my second book in a row, just by chance I swear, who's main character (well, in this case the actual author so not a character per se) has an anxiety disorder with lots... of "fun" panicy moments like hiding under the table in a resturant while having "lunch out with the girls". But when you find "your people" then they don't care, they take you for who you are, and if they are very good friends, offer you a roll down there if you are hungry. So wicked funny; go buy this book! And i do love reading books that make me and my own family seem relatively sane by camparison.

So I read this book at the urging of another friend. And although there were parts so hysterical I nearly pulled muscles laughing, the book became too much about 2/3 of the way through. It would have been impossible to keep up the momentum, but the story started to become too bizarre and absurd...and also off course. So although it gets kudos for being so funny, it wasn't always coherent. But it made me check out her blog, and I have to give her props for being so damn hilarious.MoreLess Read More Read Less

The reader is given a tour of life with mental disability and how the author has learned to tolerate, barely manage and ultimately appreciate the benefit of not being 'normal.' Lot's of funny scenarios, peppered with profanity, imagination and an illuminating description of what happens when anxiety creates an uncontrollable cascade of events, and dialogue along the lines of Turret's. However, this reader tips their hat to the bravest and funniest character, Victor.
