My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands

Watch out Chris Rock.....You have some competition because Chelsea Handler is showing the world that she is funny...funny...funny....

Who cares if she has slept around......It's her business. But, I look at this book as a cautionary tale and young women everywhere can learn from her. You are probably not going to find love on a one-night stand....you might even lose your dignity, but you'll never lose your sense of humor...and isn't that what it is really all about? Not taking ourselves so seriously.....

I bought this on the suggestion of a friend and could not put it down. It's hilarious and so TRUE. For anyone who has ever had a few too many drinks and had a one-nighter, had to endure "the walk of shame" or listened to their friends stories of random hook-ups - you will not only relate but laugh until it hurts.

First of all, it couldn't be any funnier. It's about time that a female writes a book with as much candor and chutzpah as any male when recounting their one night stories to the guys. So refreshing to find something this candid and truly funny in an over-sensitized world of censorship. Finally, someone with a strong point of view who won't couch it to spare anyone! I love it. She's just so funny!

I just finished reading "My Horizontal Life" and I have to say, it was the most fun I think I've ever had reading a book. I was laughing so hard at some of these stories that I was calling people up to quote lines over the phone (I know that's annoying if you're on the other end but it had to be done). In fact, when I finished reading it, I picked it back up and read a couple of the stories again.

As a fan of stand-up comedy (the author is a comedienne), I expected the book to be full of jokes and it is, but what I didn't expect is that it would be so revealing, sweet and engaging. By the last page, I felt like I knew the author as well as some of my closest friends.

Whether or not you yourself have had a one-night stand, you will be able to relate to the things that happen to her. Okay, maybe we haven't all dated a male stripper who's "every gay guy's fantasy" but we've all dated someone we sadly discovered is not so bright or who doesn't have a good grasp of our language. Personally, I think even a nun would find this book amusing. But I wouldn't buy it for her. I'd hope she'd just stumble upon it on her own.

I've read many humor book over the years and the problem with a lot of them is that they're just not that funny. This one delivers.
