Yes Please by Amy Poehler
From the Back Cover
Do you want to get to know the woman we first came to
love on Comedy Central's Upright Citizens Brigade? Do you want to
spend some time with the lady who made you howl with laughter on Saturday
Night Live, and in movies like Baby Mama, Blades of
Glory, and They Came Together? Do you find yourself daydreaming
about hanging out with the actor behind the brilliant Leslie Knope on Parks
and Recreation? Did you wish you were in the audience at the last two Golden
Globes ceremonies, so you could bask in the hilarity of Amy's
one-liners?
If your answer to these questions is "Yes
Please!" then you are in luck. In her first book, one of our most beloved
funny folk delivers a smart, pointed, and ultimately inspirational read. Full
of the comedic skill that makes us all love Amy, Yes Please is
a rich and varied collection of stories, lists, poetry (Plastic Surgery Haiku,
to be specific), photographs, mantras and advice. With chapters like
"Treat Your Career Like a Bad Boyfriend," "Plain Girl Versus the
Demon" and "The Robots Will Kill Us All" Yes Please will
make you think as much as it will make you laugh. Honest, personal, real, and
righteous, Yes Please is full of words to live by.
