I washed on a normal basis and still had good credit.” Introducing <i>Laurie Notaro</i>, the leader of <i>The Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club</i>. Every day she fearlessly rises from bed to defeat the evil machinations of dolts, dimwits, and creepy boyfriends — and that’s before she even puts on a bra. For the past ten years, Notaro has been entertaining Phoenix newspaper readers with her wildly amusing autobiographical exploits and unique life experiences. She writes about a world of hourly-wage jobs that require absolutely no skills, a mother who hands down judgments more forcefully than anyone seated on the Supreme Court, horrific high school reunions, and hangovers that leave her surprised that she woke up in the first place. The misadventures of Laurie and her fellow Idiot Girls (“too cool to be in the Smart Group”) unfold in a world that everyone will recognize but no one has ever described so hilariously. She delivers the goods: life as we all know it. 514237 book 2 7 2002 The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club: True Tales from a Magnificent and Clumsy Life total:3222|5:1186|4:1092|3:649|2:217|1:78| 3222 12757 4492 538 5 6 false false Wed Sep 05 07:11:11 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 05 06:59:03 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 05 07:10:31 -0700 2007
I, in the five short years since initially discovering this gift to reading, have purchased no less than five copies of this book.

After failing to find a publisher for a collection of her humor columns she turned to print on demand. The success of her book caught the eye Random House who offered her a two book deal.
