"Hell no, you can't go to the bathroom. You know where you can go? The f**k to sleep."
Go the Fuck to Sleep is a book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, it captures the familiar—and unspoken—tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. Read by a host of celebrities, from Samuel L. Jackson to Jennifer Garner, this subversively funny bestselling storybook will not actually put your kids to sleep, but it will leave you laughing so hard you won't care.]]></description><link>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C592559</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C592559</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mansbach, Adam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/592559980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781453224748/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bossypants]]></title><description><![CDATA[From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon, comedian Tina Fey reveals all, and proves that you're no one until someone calls you bossy.]]></description><link>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C987216</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C987216</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fey, Tina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/987216040</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781609419691/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bossypants]]></title><link>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C903169</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C903169</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fey, Tina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/903169040</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316177894/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bossypants]]></title><description><![CDATA[<B>Spirited and whip-smart, these laugh-out-loud autobiographical essays are "a masterpiece" from the Emmy Award-winning actress and comedy writer known for 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and SNL" (<I>Sunday Telegraph</I>).<B><br> Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher.

He covered the Civil Rights movement in the South for Time, chronicled stories from small towns and cities for The New Yorker, and wrote comic poetry for The Nation. He has been called "perhaps the finest reporter in America" (The Miami Herald), "our funniest food writer" (The New Yorker), and "one of the most brilliant humorists of our time" (Charleston Post and Courier). But one of his favorite subjects across the years-a superbly good fit for Trillin's unique mélange of reportage and comedy-has been his own professional milieu: the American press. In The Lede, Trillin gathers over a half century of his incisive, often hilarious writing on reporting, reporters, and the media world that is their orbit. A small roadside restaurant is thrown into upheaval after being named the best barbecue in Texas by Texas Monthly. Trillin and New Yorker editor Wallace Shawn have a showdown about "obscene language." A local weekly newspaper in Savannah gets unexpectedly embroiled in a missing person case. The line between journalism and protestor erodes at a reunion of Freedom Riders.

(*see also: foreign kid, boyfriend, coworker, student, teacher, enemy)
"Flat-out funny. . . This is a great next-book for fans of What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker and We Are Never Meeting in Real Life, but if a reader hasn't turned to either of those yet, Philippe's disarming, illuminating, and hilarious chronicle is a great place to start." —Booklist
In an era in which "I have many Black friends" is often a medal of wokeness, Ben Phillipe hilariously chronicles the experiences of being on the receiving end of those fist bumps. He takes through his immigrant childhood, from wanting nothing more than friends to sit with at lunch, to his awkward teenage years, to college in the age of Obama, and on to adulthood during the first Trump administration—two sides of the same American coin.
Ben takes his role as your new Black friend seriously, providing original and borrowed wisdom on stereotypes, slurs, the whole "swimming thing," how much Beyoncé is too much Beyoncé, Black Girl Magic, the rise of the Karens, affirmative action, the Black Lives Matter movement, and other conversations you might want to have with your new BBFF.
Sure, I'll Be Your Black Friend is a conversational take on topics both light and heavy universal, and deeply personal that reveals incisive truths about the need for connection in all of us.
"I still mute Ben's texts, but I inhaled his hilarious book, which is so full of razor-sharp wit and punches to the gut that it almost made me sick. In a good way!" —Samantha Irby, New York Times–bestselling author of Wow, No Thank You
"Philippe has created a funny, and at times harrowing, memoir of his experience as a Black man." —Library Journal]]></description><link>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C5640179</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C5640179</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Philippe, Ben]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5640179980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Notes from the Other Side of the Fist Bump</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063026452/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sure, I'll Be your Black Friend]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the biting, hilarious vein of What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker and We Are Never Meeting in Real Life comes Ben Philippe's candid memoir-in-essays, chronicling a lifetime of being the Black friend in predominantly white spaces.

From the values she learned from her parents (including, but not limited to, advice on not bringing outside germs onto your clean bed) to her and her boyfriend, lovingly known as British Baekoff, deciding to have a child-free union, to the way the Black Lives Matter movement took center stage in America, and, finally, the continual struggle to love her 4C hair, each essay is packed with humor and humanity"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3124720</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3124720</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robinson, Phoebe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3124720040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Essays</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593184905/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is This Anything?]]></title><description><![CDATA[The first book in twenty-five years from Jerry Seinfeld features his best work across five decades in comedy.
