My Favorite:
As you have probably caught on by now, I love a good memoir
and this month was thick with them. 52 Loaves was the fault of much inspired
bread baking in our kitchen and Knitting the Threads of Time was a great
knitting companion, however American by Choice was my favorite… by a long
slide.
When I was commuting 5 hours round trip to grad school three
days a week, I fell hard for audiobooks. They really helped pull me through my
commute, especially the evening one, usually after dark. I find myself still
checking out audiobooks from our local library, which has an amazing selection.
American by Choice was one of my audiobooks for June, and is actually read by
Craig Ferguson. One thing I dislike about the memoirs of funny people is that
they are either terribly depressing and not funny at all or they come across as
trying WAY TOO HARD to be funny. This book is neither. Ferguson is honest about
struggles but carries his familiar tongue-in-cheek humor all the way through
(for another comedian’s funny memoir check out Dawn French’s book).
Laurie Notaro is also an excellent book if you need a good
laugh. Future Hubby hates me reading her books in bed, because I end up
laughing so hard I keep him awake.
This month I encourage you to read something funny! It’s
summer after all, have some fun with it!
