1,003 Great Things About Friends

by Hodgman Birnbach, Ann Hodgman, Patricia Marx

Friends are great. They won't tell anyone that you color your hair, you always have someone to complain to, and a friendship is less likely to break up than a marriage. So say Lisa Birnbach, Ann Hodgman, and Patricia Marx. The trio has teamed up once again for the newest addition to the highly successful 1,003 series, 1,003 Great Things About Friends. This hilariously funny book includes tidbits such Her clothes are your clothes. In a real emergency, she'll lend you her spouse. Someone to stalk your ex for you. Someone to glop on your henna paste/hair color/sunless suntan lotion. Someone who pretends she doesn't notice your "Gucci" bag was manufactured in the Ivory Coast. At your wedding, your friend will talk to your great-uncle about his cataract operation so no one else has to. You can call a friend up on a Saturday night and ask her to the movies that very same night.

Okay, I bought this little book for a friend but, couldn't help myself from reading it first. Cute book, now to add it to her care package.
