Bossypants by Tina Fey

Many comedians and actors write memoirs that end up disappointing, but Tina Fey is not one of them.  Her new audiobook, Bossypants, is one of the best so far this year.  Fans of 30 Rock should definitely not miss it, because it turns out some of the funniest parts of the show are based in reality (those jars in the male writers' offices are for real?!). 

Bossypants does not give the listener a full biographical account of Fey's life, instead moving from one anecdote to another, but the overall picture is so relatable that it doesn't matter.  Her account of her disastrous honeymoon cruise is funnier than a story about dating and marrying her husband would have been, for instance, because who hasn't had the perfect vacation go wrong?  By keeping her stories based on her mishaps, she avoids coming across as a celebrity on a different plane from her fans.

The only thing wrong with the audiobook is that there isn't more of it.
