This is a great reading list for fans of humor and memoir. I've read "Bossypants," "I Like You: Hospitality Under The Influence," "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me (And Other Concerns)," "Meaty," and "The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl." "Meaty" was my absolute favorite. Samantha Irby is uniquely hilarious. She can describe things you don't want to know about in excruciatingly detailed and vivid language. Her blog Bitches Gotta Eat will make you laugh, gasp and possibly cringe.
