Reading Laurie Notaro never fails to make me smile, and giggle, and sometimes laugh out loud. While some "stories" are better than others, overall I liked this collection. My favorite in this one was the tale about her mother and all the material she forwards and takes for truth because she saw i...
I love Laurie Notaro! I discovered her nonfiction books several years ago and they made me laugh until I cried. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from a novel but since I love Dave Barry's novels I decided to give it a chance and I am so glad I did.Ghost Girl is tragic, funny, sad and wonderfu...

Looking at the reviews I can see some people really love her style and some people hate her stuff. I'm in t...
I can’t honestly remember how I found this book. But a few weeks ago I saw it sitting on the bookshelf that I devote to books I intend on reading. So, I picked it up and read a few pages and busted out laughing! I then proceeded to voraciously read this collection of essays by Laurie Notaro ab...
