Young Women Writers

While perusing the humor section of a Borders, I came across quite a few titles that piqued my interest. I wasn’t going to purchase them all and spend a few hundo on these unknown authors, so I had to do a little re-con first.

I went to the ever-so-trusty Amazon.com to check out the reviews on my list of potential new favorite books. The results weren’t always conclusive, but I had a good place to start.

I am happy to report that 2/3 of the author’s I decided to try out wound up being very good. I may even have a new favorite writer in Lori Notaro. I now own 4 of her non-fiction books with plans to purchase and read more. She’s hilarious!

I also rather enjoyed Chelsea Handler, she has a completely different writing style than Notaro, but I did enjoy reading “My Horizontal Life.”

I’ll be sure to report any new authors that I stumble across, but if you’re into humerous non-fiction and you’re a bit of a misfit, check out Notaro!
