Bossypants by Tina Fey

I've always been impressed with Tina Fey. Her sense of humor varies between a thoughtful depth and wisdom to a level of ridiculous absurdity that I truly enjoy. I loved her on Weekend Update, I thought Mean Girls was brilliantly touching while still hilarious, and I eat up 30 Rock. So when I heard she wrote a memoir, I knew I'd be reading it.

The book is mainly a look at her professional life with periodic insights in to her childhood. One thing that comes across very strongly is that she has an incredible sense of ethics that guides her. Given her level of success, it's pretty impressive that she's remained as down to earth as she is. The book doesn't reveal any shocking secrets or say anything ground breaking, but it does offer insight in to the mind of a very thoughtful and hilarious woman. And I found that well worth reading.
