Anita (anitafajitapitareada) This month's graphic novel read is Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened by Allie Brosh. This has been marked as a non-fiction web comic/blog compilation of her life and childhood experiences.

Who will be reading this, and What did you think of this graphic novel?


Linda Eilertsen Just chiming in to say I love this book with all my heart<3


Jessica | 13 comments You guys. I read the whole thing last night and I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard. I loved this book so much.


Anita (anitafajitapitareada) I Just love hearing that. Can't wait to read it! waiting for my library to get it in


Anita (anitafajitapitareada) Yeah I Finally got my hands on this and I'm already dying from the introduction.
"I remember drawing it and thinking, This is insane... I can't even believe how long this guy's arm is."


Anita (anitafajitapitareada) finished! I Thought it was pretty funny. What really cracked me up uncontrollably was the fact that she wrote to her dogs. She spends a lot of time writing about them, but the fact that she wrote about all the things they do wrong but actually to them - like they're going to read it? After all the simple things that we are learning they can't understand and do, they're going to read this? - made me irrationally amused.

And I completely commiserate with losing battles with myself just because sometimes I won't do the simplest things that need to be done for no reason other than I just won't get up and do them. even though I know I need to and I tell myself I need to, I just won't until it's too late and then I'm like "wow why didn't I just do that? Oh well..."

On a positive note, my husband and I say "parp?" to each other all the time
