books indoorkid: pema chodron's "when things fall apart" was enormously helpful to me.
i was thinking of picking it up again, actually, as i've been having a bad time of things lately.
she's a little buddhist nun, american, and quite a hellcat (a friend of mine went on a week long retreat with her.)
on the humor side there's anita liberty's "how to heal the hurt through hating." funny, but kind of a one joke wonder. also like reading someone else's diary, so a bit tiring. funny title, though.
