Leah Garchik's Hilarious Book

I believe I was one of the first people to buy this book online here as I had been anticipating it for months. Leah Garchik, for those who dont' know, is a popular social scene columnist (aka gossip columnist) for the San Francisco Chronicle. Her writing in the paper is witty and insightful. But here she's collected dozens of snippets that her readers have sent her, outrageous and funny things they have overhead. If you need a good laugh I recommend this. Also makes a great gift .

From Rebecca Emerick

like all great humorous writers, from Flannery O'Conner to Peg Bracken, Leah Garchik has a perked-up ear for the unintentially hilarious and weirdly profound. These overheard snatches of everyday insight compose a socialogically revealing book, more profound than it's pink cover would suggest. A great gift for just about anybody
