Writing Worth Reading
Writing Worth Reading
Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea by Chelsea Handler is the fourth book on your list.
She is a stand-up comedian with her own show and is very well known. As a stand-up comedian, often your agents or managers want you to write a book about your life and for you to turn your material into a book. This has been suggested to me so I thought I would look around and see what’s out there.
She actually does a great job of it. This is her view of the world. It is a simple and fun read. One of the stories that comes to mind was how she was driving to go to the airport to pick up a friend and some teenage punks crossed in front of her car, she cussed at them and actually ended up getting beaten up. It doesn’t sound funny but the way she tells it is hilarious.
And again what is great about these stories is that when you read them you realise that we all have crazy stuff and silly things happen to us. It’s nice to read these stories from celebrities on TV where you think that nothing bad ever happens to them and then you realise they are human too.
