I just read through the preceding answers, and I thought everybody would get Bossypants. It was featured in the local Krogers as a display for a couple weeks -- I assume until it sold out. I mean, just like the Deathly Hallows. Oh well -- I got that one and a few others. Now I'm gonna go Google Ali Wong.

Thanks for the author list! I'd read one, heard of some others and, with a few educated and flip a coin guesses, I think I did pretty well for only having read one of them
