Product Description
In this raucous collection of true-life stories, actress and comedian Chelsea Handler recounts her time spent in the social trenches with that wild, strange, irresistible, and often gratifying beast: the one-night stand.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.

5 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended   October 5, 2008
This is a laugh out loud funny book. I wish it were 700 pages. I highly recommend reading this book, it is soooooo funny. I personally liked this book better than "Are You There Vodka..." I think I had it read in about two days because I seriously didn't want to put it down.


5 out of 5 stars Incredibly hilarious!   October 3, 2008
I had seen Chelsea's show on E! several times, and figured that if she wrote about her one night stands, it was bound to incite a giggle or two. Boy did I underestimate! I actually brought this into work (shhhh!) and had to stifle my laughter....and I was not entirely successful. The way she describes things and the vernacular she uses are simply hilarious and I think most people who read this have a similar story or two. I also read her other boook (Are You There, Vodka?) but I prefer this one for its laugh-out-loudability. A must-read for anyone who is not uptight about one night stands or casual sex (or at least reading about them).


3 out of 5 stars Not so Horizontal !   October 3, 2008
The humor is marginal and the chronicles of her sexual romps do not exist. There are NO funny "One Night Stands" whatsoever, A huge disappointment !
The funniest part of the book is the very beginning, when her sister dares her to take a picture of their parents having sex. After that it's pretty much benign tales of her being drunk and that's about it. I returned my copy for a full refund.



5 out of 5 stars WHO KNEW CHELSEA WAS SO INTERESTING??!!   October 2, 2008
THIS BOOK WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH...OUT LOUD! CHELSEA HANDLER IS HONEST AND RAW IN HER STORY TELLING. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT. EVEN AFTER FINISHING IT YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF SKIMMING THROUGH JUST TO READ SOME OF THE FUNNY STORIES FOR A GOOD LAUGH, FROM TIME TO TIME. HER LATEST BOOK "ARE YOU THERE VODKA" IS EQUALLY ENTERTAINING.
I HAVE ONE QUESTION...HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE??



5 out of 5 stars HIGHlarious!   September 29, 2008
Impossible not to call your friends in the middle of the night just to read your favorite bits of it... Chelsea Handler is probably the most hilarious comedian of the 2000's.
