Rated How to Be a Person in the World: Ask Polly's Guide Through the Paradoxes of Modern Life 8/10

I kind of want to buy a copy of this for everyone. I really love Havrilesky's generous, warm approach to life, and there's so many gems in this book. It's a *little* overwhelming to absorb what is, in essence, a collection of advice columns, but this one is thoughtful, engaging and a fast read, full of extremely well-put versions of truths I sort of know at 38 and wish I had understood better in my 20s. <br/><br/>"Every morning, you will wake up and see that life is all about fumbling and accepting that you're fumbling...life is about feeling your way through the dark."
