On my birthday (May), my best bud got me a book (which I now call my Bible) called '211 Things A Bright Girl Can Do' by Bunty Cutler. At first, I thought it would be one of the dreaded 8-10 year old girly self-help books from the look of the cover...
However, it has become very apparent to me now that I should not, as my mother says, judge a book by its cover. In esscence, it is a reference book, however, a HILARIOUS one at that. It has various how-to style topics within chapters, each of which provides so many laughs, yet some damn good info at the same time.
I don't think it's a book one should read all the way through, as it has a wild variety of topics; I have never read the 'Horse Sense' saga as I have no interest in the subject, however, take much joy in reading 'How to lose six pounds in six hours' (Sidenote: this includes picking scabs and giving blood, so don't get too excited).
Along with the latter, some of my favourites include 'How to ride a space hopper in a mini skirt' and 'How to worm a cat'. Also, without 'Understanding the offside rule', I never would have gotten through hours of football forced upon me by the males of the family.
I highly recommend this to everyone; Cutler uses a hilarious writing style to demonstrate her point and the amount of variety in topics is wonderful!
Bye!
