Bossypants

By Tina Fey

If you read one non-fiction book this summer, make it Tina Fey's humorous memoir about building and balancing her life as a working mom. Even if you're not a professional Sarah Palin impersonator, this book will speak to the eternally frazzled, striving, witty woman in all of us. As one reviewer notes, this quick read is so laugh-out-loud funny that your spouse will ask you to read it in another room so he can go to sleep. You can't say that about many memoirs.
