Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life

A snappy, random, remarkable memoir - the first of its kind to give readers an honest flaws-n-all perspective of what it's like to be...ordinary. Initially inspired by the ""bizarre, haphazard arrangement"" of The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, Rosenthal has collected a lifetime of thoughts, observations and decisions, and created an alphabetised personal encyclopaedia, complete with cross-referenced entries and illustrations. Whether you are laughing aloud or nodding along, reading Encyclopaedia of an Ordinary Life is like being introduced to a new friend.
