I fell in love with this title, as I often do when I'm inspired to read a new author. Celia Rivenbark is a humorist; she lives in North Carolina and her weekly column is syndicated by McClatchy-Tribune Media Services.
She's a "kinder and gentler" Chelsea Handler, with a calmer but equally irreverent view of the world. She has feel for the absurd, and she's not afraid to be a little bit vulgar if it'll make us laugh. She certainly knows a lot more about celebrities than I do. (I like to think that she keeps up with celebrities so that, after all, I don't have to.)
She's funny and she has a feeling and fondness for the Southern eccentric.
Some of the titles of the book's chapters might give you a feel for Celia's work:
"Poseable Jesus Meets Poser Ken"
"Gwyneth Paltrow wants to Improve Your Pathetic Life"
"Clay Aiken Ain't Marrying Your Glandular Daughter"
"Sex Every Night For a Year? How Do You Wrap That?" (One woman's optimistic gift to her husband.)
The book includes recipes: the last chapter's recipe is "Better-than-Sex-365-Nights Cake" which certainly sounds impressive (it involves pineapple, pecans, bananas, vanilla, flour and cinnamon).
Humor is important and I think I don't pay enough attention to it, so I'm glad that this book is here!
