"Bossypants" by Tina Fey

Keeping up with the image of a light-hearted, slightly chaotic and somewhat mischievous person, famous American author Tina Fey’s new book, Bossypants is a short, sweet, messy and hilarious story. 

In her book, Tina Fey goes through her career as a comedian from early sketches on Saturday Night Live to her days of making Sarah Palin impressions and her attempts to get Oprah to appear on 30 Rock. 

The parts which are about her career give a very detailed and somewhat surprising look behind the curtains of the comedy world.Apart from covering her own career however, Tina Fey also spends a considerable amount of time covering her personal stories such as her cruise ship honeymoon as well as the advice she has to give about breastfeeding.

Throughout the whole book the situations are always looked at through a comic perspective and it seems as if Tina Fey enjoys living a lifestyle where there are simply too many things for her to handle. er ability to simply laugh her problems off as if they were nothing is what really shines through in her story.

Girl on the Stairs , by Barry Ernest and with a foreword written by David Lifton, is an exploration of one specific aspect of the JFK assassination.
