Encyclopedia Of An Ordinary Life by Amy Krouse Rosenthal
A snappy, random, remarkable memoir - the first of its kind to give readers an honest flaws-n-all perspective of what it's like to be...ordinary. Initially inspired by the bizarre, haphazard arrangement' of The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, Rosenthal has collected a lifetime of thoughts, observations and decisions, and created an alphabetised personal encyclopedia, complete with cross-referenced entries and illustrations. Whether you are laughing aloud or nodding along, reading Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life is like being introduced to a new friend.'
