Amy vs. Courtney - Battle of the Crazy Lady Books!



I bought both of these books last week, and boy howdy are they a handful.

Amy Sedaris's book is great, because it's part humor and part cookbook/household tips. The recipes don't look like a put-on or a joke, though on her list of what to serve a date who comes over for dinner, she does include "pussy" on the list. lol

Meanwhile, Courtney Love has bared her ass - literally! - for the publication of her memoirs, and the result is essentially a bunch of soggy spiral notebook pages color scanned into a fancy book. It's quite artfully done, and there are some gorgeous photos of Kurt and Frances. Sadly, the only pics of Courtney we get (other than some fun childhood/teen pics) are of the Versace stripe - no pictures of drunken rampages or drug fueled grimacing. And when is she ever gonna talk about her appearance as a "goth poetess" on Andy Warhol's MTV show in the '80s, back when she was a chunky kid and looked like a deranged Tina Yothers?

C.Lo may never come back to the five and dime (as if she'd ever been), but I love the idea of these two oversized books occupying prime coffee table space over the holidays.

And for Amy Sedaris fans, check out the promo site for her book - it's LOADED with pics and clips, including samples from the AudioBook version of "I Like You"...

Does Courtney talk about her whole life? And has someone translated it for the reader?

Amy's book looks good

"charmingly old-fashioned, like courtship or back alley abortions."



i like cookbooks and i like to cook but i'm lazy so this will give me (book worm) something interesting to read while i slack about cooking the stuff.
