Bossypants, by Tina Fey

A memoir of Tina Fey's career in comedy—as a member of Second City, the head writer of Saturday Night Live, creator and star of 30 Rock, and Sarah Palin impersonator—and a little of the story of her life leading up to it. [Image is a drawing of Tina Fey (a woman with brown hair and glasses) with a clown nose.] More of a comedy book than a traditional memoir, this is a hilarious read.

Good for: Anyone looking for a laugh! This is not a deep, introspective memoir. Tina Fey isn't baring her soul here. But it is very, very funny, especially for people who are already fans of her work.
