  <default_description>In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Ellen DeGeneres shares her hilarious take on everything from our most baffling human foibles&amp;#8211;including how we behave in elevators, airplanes, and restrooms, and why we&amp;#8217;re so scared of the boogeyman&amp;#8211;to fashion trends, celebrity, and her secret recipe for Ellen&amp;#8217;s Real Frenchy French Toast. Most of all, this witty, engaging book offers insights into the mind of one of America&amp;#8217;s most beloved comics.&amp;#8230;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dear Reader,&lt;br&gt;I was awfully excited when I was asked to write a book. I was however, nervous. I was afraid I didn&amp;#8217;t have anything important to say. But when I began writing, I realized that although I don&amp;#8217;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&amp;#8211;it&amp;#8217;s all in the book. And I realized I notice things that maybe some people don&amp;#8217;t notice (or they don&amp;#8217;t notice that they don&amp;#8217;t notice). That&amp;#8217;s all in the book, too.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</default_description>

Having said that, her comedy on the page isn't nearly as fun as watching and hearing her say it all. <br/>Like any self-respecting dyke, I think Ellen blew it as America's Girlfriend/the Fri...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9144419">more...</a>]]></body>
