I loved the book so much that I rationed my reading of it, not wanting to get through it too fast. Often, I would read a chapter while nursing the newborn, since what else am I going to do, and can’t count the number of times I started shaking with laughter, causing little Emile to stop nursing to look up at me in surprise. Mama? Is it an earthquake? Are you ill? Once or twice, it was so funny, he started laughing along with me. We’re talking humor-osmosis, people. —Kate

Perhaps this is so two years ago, but I had to stop reading “Bossypants” by Tina Fey during my lunch break at work because I was snort/ laughing so loud. It’s like a “30 Rock” that fits in your purse. Delish. —Erin
