Housebroken: Admissions of an Untidy Life by Laurie Notaro
5.0
Two things I always forget about Laurie Notaro books until I read/re-read one:
1) She is one of maybe four writers that make me laugh out loud when reading their work, whether or not I am in public.
2) I always feel like we could be friends given the opportunity. (I know I’m not the only person who feels that way about her.)
Laurie’s books, like Celia Rivenbark’s (another favorite writer), and Erma Bombeck’s well before either of them, help me to find and appreciate the humor (and occasional sarcasm) in the ridiculousness of everyday life. While the events of her day-to-day life may have changed from The Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club days, her wit and humor remain as sharp as ever.
[Edit: I cannot wait to attempt some of the recipes listed. Once I feel brave enough.]
