I listened to Bossypants and highly recommend it. Tina Fey reads it herself and I think that really adds to the story. It was so interesting to hear about the television industry and about being a female comedy writer. I didn't realize how male dominanted it was. Great book.

I want to get this as an audio book, I'm thinking it might be a hoot to listen to.

@Terri - it really was. I listened to it in my car to and from work and would just bust out laughing at some parts.
