I Love Everybody (and Other Atrocious Lies)

I knew nothing about Laurie Notaro when I purchased, I Love Everybody (and Other Atrocious Lies) : True Tales of a Loudmouth Girl.  I didn’t know if the book would be great or a waste of time or fiction or non-fiction or anything else, I just knew that I loved the title and had to read any book with such a wonderful name.  Right from the first page the book was snappy and hilarious, and it would definitely be on any “must read” list that gave to friends and family.  Notaro is funny and sarcastic and self-deprecating to just the right degree—you wish she was living next door, or worked at your office, or had married into your family so you could hang out with her on a regular basis.  We’ve got Notaro’s two earlier books here on the bookshelf, and she’s just released a new title called We Thought You Would Be Prettier : True Tales of the Dorkiest Girl Alive, so I hope my relationship with Laurie Notaro will be long and rewarding.  Here’s to books with great titles, because in this case you can judge a book by its cover.
