The Bedwetter
Sarah Silverman's father taught her to curse-at the age of three. She was a chronic bedwetter-until she was old enough to drive. She lost her virginity at age 19-but didn't really know it. These are just a few of the outrageous true tales that Silverman shares in her alternately hilarious and moving collection of autobiographical essays. With her signature taboo-breaking humour, Silverman writes on everything from her epic struggle with hairy arms (there wasn't enough wax in the world) to the death of her infant brother (It was Nana's fault) and always leaves the reader with a smile. Mixed in among the essays are scores of embarrassing photos, mortifying childhood diary entries, and truly humiliating e-mails to and from her comedian friends.
Summary of Sarah Silverman's The Bedwetter
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I have a problem that has been ongoing for a long time: I don’t know how to dress myself. I did a Google search for myself and the word worst plus dressed, and got over 18,000 hits. As a control, I did a Google search for myself and the word best plus dressed, and got over 18,000 hits as well. #2 I am fine with my style, so I do not see it as a personal flaw. But if you do, and are looking for someone to blame, try my parents. My father and mother never wore anything other than Target clothing, and I followed suit. #3 I was very nervous to meet Abby, who was very wealthy. She showed me her room and her stuff and her friends, and since she already knew I wet the bed, there were no secrets. Her mother seemed unsure of me. #4 I was nominated for an Emmy in the category of Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 2009. The show hadn't been on the air for several months, and we didn't even know when the nomination announcements were made. I knew there was less than a zero percent chance I would actually win.
A Tale of Two Beasts
There are two sides to every story. A little girl finds a strange beast in the woods and takes it home as a pet. She feeds it, shows it off to her friends and gives it a hat. But that night it escapes. Then the beast tells the story of being kidnapped by the girl, who forcefed it squirrel food, scared it with a group of beasts and wrapped it in wool. Can the two beasts resolve their differences? An eye-opening story that makes you look at things from a different perspective. 'Roberton's premise is as sublime as it is simple, with a subtle message. [...] Totally delightful.' - Kirkus Reviews

Laugh Lines
With his tender, funny memoir of four decades in the business, one of the first writers for Saturday Night Live traces the history of American comedy.

PARENTS: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME Greg Fitzsimmons has made a lot of what appear to be bad decisions. It’s what he was raised to do.

I Know I Am, But What Are You?
Candid, outspoken, laugh-out-loud funny essays from the much-loved Samantha Bee, the Most Senior Correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart . Critics have called her “sweet, adorable, and vicious.” But there is so much more to be said about Samantha Bee. For one, she’s Canadian. Whatever that means. And now, she opens up for the very first time about her checkered Canadian past. With charming candor, she admits to her Lennie from Of Mice and Men–style love of baby animals, her teenage crime spree as one-half of a car-thieving couple (Bonnie and Clyde in Bermuda shorts and braces), and the fact that strangers seem compelled to show her their genitals. She also details her intrig...
I Am Jewish
Being Jewish. What does it mean—today—and for the future? Listen in as Jews of all backgrounds reflect, argue, and imagine. When Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was brutally murdered in Pakistan, many Jews were particularly touched by his last words affirming his Jewish identity. Many were moved to reflect on or analyze their feelings toward their lives as Jews. The saying "two Jews, three opinions" well reflects the Jewish community's broad range of views on any topic. I Am Jewish captures this richness of interpretation and inspires Jewish people of all backgrounds to reflect upon and take pride in their identity. Contributions, ranging from major essays to a paragraph or a s...
