You've either done it or know someone who has: the one-night stand, the familiar outcome of a night spent at a bar, sometimes the sole payoff for your friend's irritating wedding, or the only relief from a disastrous vacation. Often embarrassing and uncomfortable, occasionally outlandish, but most times just a necessary and irresistible evil, the one-night stand is a social rite as old as sex itself and as common as a bar stool. Enter Chelsea Handler. Gorgeous, sharp, and anything but shy, Chelsea loves men and lots of them. My Horizontal Life chronicles her romp through the different bedrooms of a variety of suitors, a no-holds-barred account of what can happen between a man and a sometimes very intoxicated, outgoing woman during one night of passion. From her short fling with a Vegas stripper to her even shorter dalliance with a well-endowed little person, from her uncomfortable tryst with a cruise ship performer to her misguided rebound with a man who likes to play leather dress-up, Chelsea recalls the highs and lows of her one-night stands with hilarious honesty. Encouraged by her motley collection of friends (aka: her partners in crime) but challenged by her family members (who at times find themselves a surprise part of the encounter), Chelsea hits bottom and bounces back, unafraid to share the gritty details. My Horizontal Life is one guilty pleasure you won't be ashamed to talk about in the morning.
BookshelfMonstrosity: If you liked the humorous commentary on single life in My Horizontal Life, you may enjoy Sex and the City. Only slightly less explicit, it also offers commentary on female friendship and designer labels.
The only reason it took me so long to read this book is I took a break from reading and didn't pick it up for over a month. Otherwise, this could've been read in one or two sittings. This book is absolutely hilarious and made me laugh out loud more times than I can count. This is definitely one of the funniest books I've read in a while and is a must-read, even if you don't care for reading books written by celebrities. ( )
i don't care who or what or how many Chelsea Handler humped, only that she did so on the wrong side of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. (if you know what i mean.) ( )

I was seven years old when my sister told me she'd give me five dollars to run upstairs into my parents' room while they were having sex and take a picture.
