David brought home this lovely book of essays by the late Marjorie Williams, a correspondent for the Washington Post who died of cancer last year. These essays cover a range of topics from politics to motherhood. One of my favorite was a satiric piece about Real Simple magazine. She also had a great essay about the novel I Don't Know How She Does It by Allison Pearson. It was so funny, it inspired me to go out the get the book.
There is a wonderful website for the book -
The Woman at the Washington Zoo
I have recommended it to journalism teachers and mothers who like to read.

I'm not sure if you will be able to find any of these books but try reading Gerald Durrell's work. He's a very humourous writer and my favourite book of his is 'My family and other animals'. Try it. I think you may like it.
