If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet

If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet? is written by Village Voice and Playboy Magazine columnist Cynthia Heimel, who isn't afraid to take on the big questions. Like, what should a girl to do to get the right man? Heimel’s answer: “Nothing." The right man will adore you, she says, even if you have "greasy hair, spinach in your teeth, and your skirt on inside out."

Especially for the young and modern woman, this book absolutely clobbers stereotypes. As reviewed by Mademoiselle, "Brilliant, ballsy ... wise and loving ... She makes me feel militantly on my own side. What pleasure; what relief."  -- this book could help you through a break-up and leave you laughing, smirking, chuckling and snorting, even.  It is bound to release the pressure of taking life too seriously.

Offering snappy advice about boyfriends ("a woman needs a man like a fish needs a net") and other subjects, Heimel is brash, smart, and very, very funny.  Contemporary topics and hip language are her style, so her appeal may not be to the exact same audience as Erma Bombeck -- but her spoofs of the modern human condition so are right on target that we just know Erma would have loved this book!
