Every Tuesday night without fail, my mother and I sit down to watch one of our favorite shows (just second behind The Bachelor/ette), The Mindy Project. In this show, comedian/actress Mindy Kaling plays herself as a female gynacologist who owns a small medical practice in New York City. Sure, this show isn't the most sophisticated humor ever, but we think it's hilarious. I relate to Mindy's awkwardness and love of food on such a level that I think we're long lost sisters. Anyway, I love Mindy, and remembered my good friend Marta telling me about how she loved reading Mindy's book.
So, when I was watching the season finale a week ago, it came to me what my next non-fiction book was going to be: Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns). Mindy's personal memoir covers all of her life experiences in a collection of humerous tales with an interlacing of Mindy's commentary on the lessons she has learned throughout her life. This is no self-help or woman-empowerment book; it is just a book by a really funny woman written to hopefully help give girls just like her someone to connect to or laugh with.
I hope to just have fun with this book and enjoy my favorite TV star's personal stories. I can't wait to enjoy some of Mindy's humor away from the TV as I wait with baited breath for her show to be back on in April. Maybe, I'll even learn a life lesson or two, but I'd be just fine with getting a few laughs.
