Chelsea Handler has been a permanent fixture on the New York Times best seller list with her humorous essay collections.
Trouble is, they are just aren't that funny.
Samantha Bee, correspondent for The Daily Show, has written a truly funny book called i know i am, but what are you?
I could quote her all day, but here are a few examples of excellence in the category of humorous non-fiction, which may be the toughest genre to write:
"One day, I walked into class, and all these formerly fresh-scrubbed girls were wearing shimmery pink lip glosses in various shades of whore." (from Man-Witch)
"Most of the time I'm simply sporting mom jeans and a scowl, trying my best to get from one place to another without encoutering any brazen genitalia along the way." (Penis Envy)
"If I could, I would spend all of my remaining days taste-testing chocolates, while a team of six-year-old girls gently brushed my hair." (from Sailor Moon)
Bee is the funnier blonde, no doubt.
