Reading: Bossypants

Bossypants by Tina Fey
#2 in 50 book challenge

I rarely read non-fiction and never read autobiographies or memoirs. But for Tina Fey, I am more than willing to make an exception. And boy, am I glad that I did.

I regularly watch 30 Rock and have basically idolized her since her time on SNL. I enjoyed learning more about her through short anecdotes about growing up in theatre, being a female writer on SNL, managing a show, and raising a daughter. You can really see how her life influenced her work. For example, the 30 Rock episode "Sun Tea" is clearly based off of her experiences from the chapter "Peeing in Jars with Boys". Reading this book has blurred the lines between Liz Lemon and Tina Fey, which I'm okay with because it makes Liz Lemon more human rather than Tina Fey a fictional character.

I hear good things about the audiobook, narrated by Tina Fey herself, so I think I'll have to give that a try as well.
