I enjoyed reading about her forays into "Culture." At this point I think I've also gathered quite a lot of assumptions about things like what I would enjoy and what I can do. Sometimes it's nice to push those boundaries and learn a thing or two.

"My Fair Lazy" is another joyous collection of real life stories by Lancaster--this time, instead of writing about things that happened already, she sets out to fulfill an experiment for the book. The author attempts to "culture-up", something we reality-tv addicted people can relate to. Lancaster once again delivers a great read, but this time it's coupled with fabulous insight into pop culture and what it is doing to us.

I am a reality tv junkie and a huge fan of Lancaster's, so this book was a great read for me. Far from her best book, it is an definite experience.

I think this might be my favorite Jen Lancaster book to date. I was not a big fan of Pretty in Plaid, but this one more than made up for it. Maybe because I have undertaken my own "Jenaissance" with similar results ( especially when I discovered Mediterranean food). Overall, this book was reliable Jen Lancaster, lots of laugh out load moments and a great story.

It's still written in the typical Jen Lancaster style, but I've found myself loving her books less the more she writes.

What can I say about Jen Lancaster? Every book of hers, I have literally laughed out loud and I say this truly and honestly. Reading at home, during my lunch hour at work or on the treadmill, I have had numerous stares because I was found to be laughing and shaking - sometimes eye watering.
Her snarky comedy hits the spot. I definitely believe that she can describe experiences with honesty and a bit of oneupness - yep thats a word! I find that when I am reading her book, I think YEP thats how I would have reacted with rats running across my floor and the dog just starring thinking its a new play toy. (This has not happened, but Miss Charlotte has a keen eye for finding flies, making friends and accidentally swallowing them. The sad eyes come when she can't find it anymore.)
I would recommend this book to those who love dry, snarky humor and a fun read. The stories and situations that Jen ends up in are just beyond funny.

Jen Lancaster never fails to make me laugh. She is always good for a light read and has a narrative voice that makes her books feel more like a chat with a best friend. It’s this quality in her writing that always makes me buy her books, even though her gimmick is starting to grow old.
In her latest book, “My Fair Lazy” Lancaster goes on a quest to become more cultured. The pitch for the book made me think that she was going to relate her life to her love of reality TV. She did this a bit, but really the purpose of the book often became muddled. It was still enjoyable to read, but it seemed to lack direction.
I loved her run in with Alec Baldwin.
