Just Kids
Patti Smith

So Crazy I Knew I Could Break Thru With You

My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands
Chelsea Handler
Bloomsbury USA, 2005
Funniest Book Ever
I'm going to make this brief. This was the funniest book I've ever read in my life.
It usually takes quite a bit to make me laugh but this book had me roaring sitting at
