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.

2 out of 5 stars No Sense of Self   August 30, 2008
I like to watch Chelsea's show, and she has a wry sense of humor; however, the way she conducted herself as a young woman is both frightening and sad. The thought of two underage women constantly drunk and inviting Godess knows whom into their beds, including criminals and absolute undesirables, wreaks of low self esteem, lack of self respect and no boundaries. I have to wonder if young women know they are putting themselves in danger when they get drunk and go home with strangers?? Not to mention diseases???? This lifestyle is not healthy. Think before you leap or read! I don't recommend this book to young women, who may be influenced to behave in unhealthy ways.


3 out of 5 stars This book was good....   August 29, 2008
not great... I actually liked her newer book better (are you there vodka.. its me Chelsea).. After reading that book first, I was thinking this one had to be even more raunchy... but it wasn't what I expected. It wasn't bad... I enjoy the way she writes. I just was let down after reading the other book first.


5 out of 5 stars My Horizontal life   August 29, 2008
I absolutely loved this book!!! Its an easy and extremely funny read!! Some of her stories kept me laughing for days!!!So if your looking for a good laugh I would definetely reccommend this book!!!


5 out of 5 stars Hilarious   August 29, 2008
I read "Are you there Vodka, It's Me Chelsea?" and loved it so much that I immediately ordered "My Horizontal Life". Chelsea has a brilliant way of telling stories that makes you fell like you are out having a drink with a close friend. Not one to pass on to my grandma but definitely all of my girlfriends!


2 out of 5 stars meh   August 27, 2008
i purchased this book because i was a huge fan of chelsea handler, and when i recieved it, i tore into it like i was a fat kid, and this book was a box of toaster streudels . . . one page in the entire book made me laugh- the rest were good ideas with too little else. i didn't so little as smirk through the bulk of it, and the filler and one-liners between each major detail were inadequate, and clever at best. nothing progressed in a smooth, and believable manner- the crap tangents seemed to dilute even chelsea's give an s factor when she came back to the main idea. every character was so poorly sketched, the bulk of everything in the book is based on the simplest stereotypes with one or two defining traits- max. which is fine- stereotypes are based on facts, but every character is merely a prop as we watch drunk, soulless, chelsea sketch a short life of doing absolutely nothing. most of the 'insight' and subjective material comes in the form of a very rough joke, or is unnecessary and disjointed, and actually takes away from the idea. did anyone edit this book?
