#1 of 2012: Chicken Pox for the Soul by Jessica Zafra

A Jessica Zafra wasn’t exactly what I had in my mind to open the new year, but I guess it’s not bad to start 2012 armed with irony…. right? Wrong. No, I’m kidding, this book was a treat. Zafra is one of my earlier writing “idols” and I love how her twisted-ness never seems to… straighten. In the book, she spills her darkest thoughts about people, the L-word, and well, life, in general in the snappiest ways possible - as expected - you’ll never get bored. You’ll even wish there were more pages to it.

Yay!s
“People who read books in public places are regarded with suspicion because they appear self-sufficient. When you seem self-sufficient, other people think that you think you’re better than them, and they get resentful.”
“Greasy food might not be good for your body, but it does wonders for the soul. A healthy diet may prolong your life, but what would you have to live for? What is the point of living to a hundred if you have to subsist on bland food? One may as well die of boredom.”

Boo!
Only 160 pages?!?
