Now I know I'm two years late, but if you haven't read Bossypants by Tina Fey, then you seriously need to stop what you are doing and go and buy this book now! It is amazing! The novel, which is a compilation of autobiographical essays, proves that Tina Fey is witty, hilarious, and insightful. What is most enjoyable is that she intelligently constructs vignettes woven together for the creation of a greater fabric. Her accounts do more than simply provide the audience with humorous anecdotals. Each story, including early adolescence, traveling improv performer, marriage, writer on Saturday Night Live, and creator of successful sitcom 30 Rock, is honest and sensible as she goes about critiquing the world through her experiences. No subject goes untouched in this refreshing memoir about self exploration while encouraging a higher standard on issues of sexism, workplace politics, personal and professional decision making, and of course comedy.
