God she's good. Chelsea Handler is extraordinarily funny and writes very well. I think I liked "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea" a little bit more, but "My Horizontal Life" was outstanding as well.
I love how frank she is, not only about the guys, the situations, and her "influences" (drugs and alcohol), but also about herself. She's just hilarious.
Some of my favorite quotes (taken completely out of context):
"If you've ever seen the hind legs of a German shephard trotting away from you, then you know what my ex-boyfriend's calves looked like."
"It was Valentine's Day and I had spent the day in bed with my life partner, Ketel One."
"Within the two hour time frame of the romantic movie, the couple meet, fall in love, fall out of love, break up, and then just before the end of the movie, they happen to bump into each other by "coincidence" somewhere absolutely absurd, like by the river. This never happens in real life. The last time I bumped into an ex-boyfriend was at three o'clock in the morning at Rite Aid. I was ringing up Gas-X and corn removers."
"Many people feel like a one-night stand is something to be ashamed of or embarrassed by. I disagree. There are many ways to get to know someone, and my personal favorite is seeing them naked in Happy Baby pose."
"Generally, this type of underwear wasn't worn by anyone under sixty."
