I was in the mood for a light summer read, and I've always enjoyed Kathy Griffin's comedy, so I picked up her memoir, Official Book Club Selection.

As you would expect, this is a witty, funny, irreverent book. Griffen tells the story of her life, from Chicago to the D-List. It's an honest, no holds barred look at her life where nobody is let off the hook, including the author.

If you like Griffen's brand of humor, and if you're not put off by some (ok, a lot of) foul language, Official Book Club Selection is a very good read.

Matthew Silverman has recently come out with an updated, paperback edition of his book, 100 Things Mets Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die. It's a subjective list, but an instructive one for fans who wish to become more knowledgeable about the Mets' history. From the Polo Grounds to Big Shea to Citi Field, this is a lovingly-written resource for those looking to learn more about their favorite team as well as those looking to reminisce about times past. As Bob Murphy would have said, this is "A beautiful addition to your baseball library."

I tend to be a nonfiction fan, and I'm a big fan of The Daily Show, so I picked up a copy of Samantha Bee's collection of autobiographical essays, I Know I Am, But What Are You?

As autobiographies go, this is a decent one but not a great one. It starts out a little slow, as she describes being brought up by divorced young parents and her grandmothers, and there are many gaps in her story. On the other hand, Ms. Bee's intelligence shows through, and there are many legitimate laugh out loud moments.

I'd say that this is a book best enjoyed by someone who is already a fan of Ms. Bee and her work. It's a good read, with some very good moments, but I doubt it will resonate with those who aren't already familiar with her.
