Product Description
Product Description
In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Ellen DeGeneres shares her hilarious take on everything from our most baffling human foibles–including how we behave in elevators, airplanes, and restrooms, and why we’re so scared of the boogeyman–to fashion trends, celebrity, and her secret recipe for Ellen’s Real Frenchy French Toast. Most of all, this witty, engaging book offers insights into the mind of one of America’s most beloved comics.…
Dear Reader,
I was awfully excited when I was asked to write a book. I was however, nervous. I was afraid I didn’t have anything important to say. But when I began writing, I realized that although I don’t know a lot about any one thing, I know a little about a whole bunch of things: baking a pie; dancing; curing the common cold; running the Iditarod–it’s all in the book. And I realized I notice things that maybe some people don’t notice (or they don’t notice that they don’t notice). That’s all in the book, too.

Format:Paperback
This book is the only books that I've ever laughed uncontrollably while reading. Some material from the book is taken word for word from Ellen's standup- but most of the content is brand new. Ellen's cures for diseases are funny- she even makes up her own dance. One great part is Ellen writing an apology letter to a friend- and fanmail for ellen's made-up new column- AskEllen. Ellen's recipe for French toast, and how celebrities live are hilarious.
I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to laugh.

This has to be one of the funniest books that i have ever read. I first read it about 5 years ago and now it just lives in my bathroom (also known as the library!) Most of the chapters are modern day classics, from playing charades with a vicar to flirting with the police patrol officer. And don't even get me started on her phobias of planes. If Jerry sienfeld was female and very paranoid this would be her!
Your missing out if you don't read this atleast once. Trust me.

Format:Hardcover
In her book, Ellen Degeneres, stand up comedian and actress, presents a unique order of things and explains her viewpoint on society and life, scary moments, things you should or should rather not do, tourette syndromes and much, much more.
Each chapter represents a little entity in which she writes about important and less important things in a way so funny and so true that makes one want to read each paragraph over and over again.
This book, a New York Times Bestseller, is a change from ordinary bookwriting and -reading. It shows how unique Ellen and her ability to make everyone (or, as she admits, most) around her laugh and a must for all those who want to discover the deep meanings of life in an amusing light.

waste of time and money
The material fell flat already on the first couple of pages. I don't know why I thought she would be more funny and make more sense in written pages than in her show. Read more
