Seriously, this book is hilarious. If you don't read it you will turn into a troll and be given a bridge that no billy goats will cross.

autobiographical essays/memoir (comedian/comic actress)
well-told stories filled with self-deprecating humor and a healthy dose of wit. More inspirational than laugh-out-loud funny, but a fun, positive read that should make you feel better about yourself, because as bad as your last presentation went, at least you hadn't accidentally spit into someone else's face (and even if you did, you survived and can move on).

Self-Inflicted Wounds: Heartwarming Tales of Epic Humiliation

I Picked Up This Book Because: I like the authors tv/comedy.

Slightly biographical mostly anecdotal recounting of some the most embarrassing times in the author's life. While it was funny and we got to know Ms Tyler I think it went on a bit too long for me. She covers her early life, primary and college life and the beginning of her career.

At the end she states she wanted to write a funny book and she definitely succeeded in that.

Loved this. Perfect not just for fans of Aisha Tyler but also if you liked Bossypants or Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me.

The audiobook version of this just kept me company through many hours of house cleaning. So good.
