Apparently fall is the biography season…I guess I’ve not been paying attention all these years, or else I’ve just not been a big biography fan. But now, it seems there is even a biography that even I’m interested in, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? For those of you not in the loop, Mindy Kaling is both a writer and actress for the hit TV show, The Office. I’ve watched the show on and off for a while, and while I’m not a passionate follower, I do enjoy some of the humor.
Even if you aren’t a big fan of the The Office, you may want to pick up a copy of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? . Kaling is both quirky and funny both on the show, and in her new book which talks about her experience with a little advice thrown in for good measure. So, if you’re in high school and struggling to fit in…and haven’t we all been there at one time or another… this book is for you. And if you happen to be well past high school, as I am, you may enjoy Kaling’s refreshing look back on why success in high school does not necessarily translate into success later in life. If you want a taste of how Kaling reads, check out the except in Publisher Weekly.
