I have over indulged this holiday season. This time it wasn't so much with sweets or food items but in a book. I got a book yesterday for Christmas. It's a book I've wanted for a while. I started to read it yesterday but then I realized how rude it is to ignore your company while you read the book they gave you. Instead I brought it with me tonight as I sit and wait for my auto to be maintained. I read the whole dang thing snickering quietly because I don't want to draw attention to myself in the waiting room but it's so funny I can't help but snicker. I don't get what makes it funny because she just writes and draws about ordinary situations like being a child, feeling sad, feeling afraid, bluffing, procrastinating or owning a dog. Maybe it's the way she states the obvious that causes me to snicker. I know if I was reading this in private I would be laughing out loud. Yes, this is a good book. Allie Brosh is a talented writer. Her drawing is basic and childish yet conveys emotions and psychological nuances with great skill. Oh, why did I read this book so fast? Now it's over. I think I'll read it again. There are more snickers in store for me. I knew it would be good because I've been following her blog for a couple years. I was right.
