My Horizontal Life; A Collection of One-Night Stands


No, I am not talking about myself - sorry to disappoint you.
I am talking about Chelsea Handler's book of the "one nighter" type experiences.
The first book I have read in under 2 days in a long time, it caught my attention mostly because it was not what I thought it was going to be.
In a writing of accounts that reminded me of Tucker Max, I was regaled with experiences of stained panties (a word Chelsea hates because it sounds like a word a pedophile would say), midgets (as she likes to call nuggets), people of different origin and race, and every profession imaginable. Chelsea painted the hilarity of a situation that a chick can get herself into with a healthy sex drive and some beverages.
Being fueled by alcohol, admitted shallowness and an odd gaggle of friends of the same lifestyle, Chelsea finds herself time and time again in a situation that lowers the bar of "hit-bottom" and surprises even herself each and every time.
But, there is no remorse, felt by her OR anyone reading this book. All that can be done is to laugh.
This is definitely a book that I would recommend to any chick just looking for a light-hearted read about Girls Behaving Badly (the name of one of the shows Chelsea was a star on). If nothing else it will make you feel a little better about some of your own life choice - depending of course - and if it doesn't maybe you should write a book of your own :oS.
