Order Bitter is the New Black : Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smartass,Or, Why You Should Never Carry A Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office

I was given this book by a misled family member who thought I might enjoy this due to my love of humorous memoirs. I could tell by the description on the back that this would not be my cup of tea - but decided to give it a chance anyway. In my opinion, this is chick-lit at its worst. Trust me, I get self-deprecating funny. I get the funny in saying things everybody wants to but you know you shouldn't. This book crosses the line into un-funny, just plain mean territory.

I found Jen Lancaster to be the b**ch you always hope you never have to spend time with, who's been given an outlet for her truly awful thoughts. I couldn't really believe her hateful comments towards others, let alone her unapologetic way of voicing them. It's a bit sickening how egotistical this woman truly is. And, I find it a bit sad that this book is such a success.

Maybe if you are a real b**ch you might enjoy this one, but regular, nice people - beware. You will feel irritated every moment you are filling your head with this.Get more detail about Bitter is the New Black : Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smartass,Or, Why You Should Never Carry A Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office.

Shop For My Fair Lazy: One Reality Television Addict's Attempt to Discover If Not Being A Dumb Ass Is the New Black, or, a Culture-Up Manifesto

This book convinces us how much more satisfying life experiences can be when you're an active participant, and not just an observer. As a reality TV addict myself (I had to accept what I had become when I added the Fox Reality channel solely to watch "Househusbands of Hollywood" last fall while on maternity leave), I appreciate how Jen Lancaster remains true to herself while diving head first into the good, the bad and the ugly of a myriad of cultural experiences. Her description of various ethnic cuisines (and the wine/cheese tasting!) rival Ruth Reichel's in every savory (and not so savory!) detail. Riding shotgun with her friend Stacey, she discovers that theater, literature, poetry, and dance can be exhilarating, shocking, and sometimes disappointing, but that it's the experience itself that matters most.Get more detail about My Fair Lazy: One Reality Television Addict's Attempt to Discover If Not Being A Dumb Ass Is the New Black, or, a Culture-Up Manifesto.
