Such A Pretty Fat, by Jen Lancaster

This is the funniest book I've read in a long time, possibly ever. A memoir of the author's efforts at weight loss, it is a much more realistic picture of the thoughts and feelings of a person struggling with significant weight issues. But ultimately, it is just a very funny look at life in this day and age. Based in Chicago (the real Chicago, not the suburbs!), the lifestyle she describes isn't too far off this Dallas girl's lifestyle. Her observations are extremely witty, and she is a Republican! :) A must read for any modern girl.
