My point and I do have one by Ellen Degeneres. This was the funniest book I have ever read and I would have never considered it if not for this challenge.
Food: A Love Story by Jim GaffiganI have been a long time fan of Jim Gaffigan's comedy. In his act, he has an obsession with (mostly unhealthy) food, but I never truly realized how deep his love affair was until I read this book :-) It was a pretty funny book, but fair warning, you will probably crave doughnuts, bacon or a cheeseburger while reading it! One of my favorite parts was his discussion about seafood...or sea bugs as he likes to refer to it.
I read American on Purpose: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot by Craig Ferguson. I sure miss Craig on the Late Late show. This book is almost like a conversation you might have with him about his life, his issues, and his alcoholism. Nothing earth-shattering - just an interesting read. I would love it if one of the other hosts had a guest host named Craig Ferguson, like Johnny Carson had Joan Rivers. I'm not a fan of the reruns...
