About book She Drives Me Crazy: Three Favorite Essays (2011)

I have been curious about Celia Rivenbark for some time due to the hilarious titles of her books. I picked this up as a freebie and am sooooo glad I haven't sunk any money into her writing. If this is a collection of her fav's then the rest must be a real treat. I giggled at one or two things, but I felt like she was trying too hard to be funny without much success. And the rambling... my goodness. Thanks to a trusted goodreads reviewer Formerly Known As BloodyMary, I paid my $0.00 to Amazon and got this wirelessly delivered to my handy-dandy Kindle. [Thanks, Kelly. As usual, you nailed it.] Turns out this was the best zero cents I've never spent. Does that even make sense? What I meant to say is: I love Celia Rivenbark. She hung strings on my funnybone and played it like a fiddle at a Saturday night hoedown. I didn't have my laugh-out-loud meter clocking me but I know I broke more wind laughing than a chili cook-off judge does after a hard day's night. And that's without the noxious fumes.As proof of how hard it is to write humor that's actually funny, I direct you to my broke-ass attempts above. But Ms Rivenbark is a natural. Even better, she doesn't let Political Correctness get in the way of good-old-girl honesty--which means she gets right down to the nitty-gritty grease on the hamburger wrapper and has you licking it off because it's so lip-smacking good, vegans be damned. And she's not afraid to cuss like a hell-raising Sister of the South when she needs to.As I was reading these three short pieces, I thought it would be great to hear a woman with a southern accent reading Celia Rivenbark on an audiobook, but then I realized that her written language is so true to the South that you can already hear the southern drawl in it.As a stinky footnote to guys who might think it's sissified to be caught reading a book, especially a book by a woman, listen up, gents. This here writer-woman can knock your boots back and your socks off with words and tell a funny story with more sass than you can probably handle. Don't read her if you ain't got the cojones. Ladies, can I get a "Hell Yeah!"?
