An Italian book by arguably the most famous comic in the country at the moment, Luciana Littizzetto. It was the last book on paper format I read (more on that later...) and extremely enjoyable.Basically, the book is made up of short chapters that are either a series of situations the author found herself into or topics that are of interest to her.
I don't know if there is an English translation, and quite likely not all the gags would translate well, because a big part of the effect of humor in general is encapsulated in the language with which it is delivered, but I would definitely recommend it.
Some chapters weren't as interesting as others, but occasionally I found myself laughing so hard I got teary eyed. I'm definitely looking forward to reading her other books now.
By the way, the title translates into: Lonely (or, alone) like a celery stalk.
Grade: 8
