The BedwetterSarah Silverman
Here's another August read that I've simply delayed discussing sooner. I'm not sure what led me to read The Bedwetter -- I'm not the hugest fan of Silverman, but that's really due to the fact I'm in bed absurdly early and she mostly appears on late-night tv.
I guess what really made me interested in reading more about her was her video Sell the Vatican, Feed the World. Funny, yes, but not entirely a bad idea, either.
Anyway, long story short - picked this little gem up from the library. The Bedwetter was at times laugh-out-loud hysterical (the story about her brother alone makes it worthwhile) and at others insightful and thoughtful. Reading about her experiences as a bedwetter and later as an SNL writer made for a quick, fun read.
In a nutshell: If you are ultra-PC, you might want to skip this one. Otherwise, it's nearly impossible not to laugh at The Bedwetter, even if you're not familiar with her work.
Bibliolatry Scale: 4 out of 6 stars
FTCBS: Libraryed this one. That's like the third library book this year! Awww yeah, kicking it old school.

AHHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA LEMONAIDS! *continues laughing at this for the rest of the day, which makes it awkward when people ask what she's laughing at because THAT'S not a joke you can share with people*
