 | Shopgirl: A Novella by Steve Martin
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $0.76 I love this book. It had deeper meanings in it than a fun book normally has, but once I saw the movie I realised that a lot of what I thought was deep and thoughtful was meant by the author as funny.

 | Clara: The Story of the Pug Who Ruled my Life by Margo Kaufman
Buy used from: $15.89 Margo Kaufman is a hilariously funny writer and this is a great book-it's not a dog obsessed weird book at all.

 | Isabel's Bed by Elinor Lipman

 | Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella
Buy new: $10.08 / Used from: $0.01 Kinsella's best book to date. Even with the over used waking up in a new life and not knowing what happened to change you ( a frequent made for TV movie plot) Kinsella's natural wit and talent for drawing real comody out of every day occurances makes this a book that you won't be able to put it down-except when you need to stop reading to have a fit of hysterical laughter
