Chick Books I've Enjoyed Recently
Julie Klausner, one of the authors on my LA Times Festival of Books "All The Single Ladies" panels is one of the funniest ladies I've read in a long time. Her book: I Don't Care About Your Band: What I Learned from Indie Rockers, Trust Funders, Pornographers, Felons, Faux-Sensitive Hipsters, and Other Guys I've Dated. I wouldn't have read a book like this, but for needing to for my panel, but I was really glad I did.

And then, I finally, finally read a book on beauty by Beth Teitell that I've had for a while, Drinking Problems at the Fountain of Youth. Funny and very smart, with realistic ideas on what it takes to be beautiful (sans $300 vials of Tibetan sheep urine) that mirror my own. Best of all, her book was just as smart as a really serious, really boring book on the subject that came out recently that I had to read for a magazine piece I'm doing.
