Akira, my svelte Philly friend, so kindly commented on my last post inquiring whether I had, indeed, read the Palin tome or simply passed judgement without a perusal. The answer is, clearly: NO, I did not read it. More importantly, I did not spend any of my precious recession dollars on it. In my defense, however, I would guess that Sarah Palin has also not yet read it. It's on her list, though, just like 'all of the newspapers' that she told Katie Couric she reads.
A book that I am reading, however, was a recent airport purchase. Needing a bit of consoling from my entrance into the dating world at a relatively late age and lack of immediate success (not sure why all the fabulous single men out there have not picked up on my recent 'available' vibe...) I dove into the wonderful world of Self Help books. The brilliant section that boasts Chicken Soup for the Soul and informs me that Men are From Mars and Women are from Venus offered me the latest gem in the 'single women are from the planet clueless' genre: How to Love like a Hot Chick.
This book, ladies and gents, may just change my life. It tells me what I should do to believe that love is in my future and then totally calls me out on the bad, low-self-esteem (LSE) messages that immediately follow and tells me to snap out of it and take risks anyway. It is like a little paperback best friend.
I love the lovely self help section.

1 - Love the Shout Out. Made my day
2 - Glad you didn't read/purchase/skim the SP book in a bookstore
3 - I saw this book in a train station bookstore and read the back. The title is certainly eye-catching. My view on self-help is that I'm giving in by admitting it. Believe they call that denial. lol, it is totally one of the precursors of the 12 steps. Hilarious. Let me know how that book is.
