How to be Champion by Sarah Millican

After finishing The Crossing by Michael Connelly, I started How to be Champion by Sarah Millican.  I started this on July 7 and finished it on August 19.  This little comedic gem is courtesy of the finished book pile at my parents' house.  There are all kinds of super random books in the perma-pile at their house.

My step-mother, Sally, mentioned that this was pretty funny, and seeing how I had just finished my other book, and was book-less on this trip, I decided that this looked like the most interesting book in the pile at that time, so gave it a go.  I hadn't heard of her prior to picking up this book.

This book took a little longer to read than I thought it would, but it was really funny.  Sarah Millican is a comedian.  She's really funny.  She cusses a lot in her book, and doesn't shy away from talking about gross things (poop, periods).  At times, I found myself laughing out loud from what she wrote - it was usually about pooping / farting.  This is more than just a comedy book - it's kind of an autobiography and a self-help book all in one.  With each chapter, Milican gives us tips on how to be "Champion".  What, exactly, is Champion - you'll have to read the book, but you can also watch this little snippet.

If you can make sense of British vocabulary, like to laugh, are ok with raunchy humor, aren't afraid of empowered women, and could use a little self-help, you'll probably like this book.
