Chelsea Handler’s six favorite books span all the genres
Chelsea Handler loves all types of books.
“My philosophy on reading is to read anything you can get your hands on,” the seven-time author — whose new Netflix special, “The Feeling,” is out now — tells Page Six.
The “I’ll Have What She’s Having” writer adds that she is particularly a fan of “fiction, non-fiction, self-help and mystery.”
Handler’s latest book, which came out in February, is filled with hilarious stories from her life, including the time she almost had a tryst with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
See below for Handler’s six must-read book recommendations.
“Circe” by Madeline Miller
“Her writing, the escapism, Greek mythology written with such élan. There are sentences in this book that make you stop reading and think. My favorite kind of writing.”
“The House of Mirth” by Edith Wharton
“A timeless take on high society and what it means to be driven by ekeing your way into that society. What that does to the human spirit. I see it in Hollywood all the time. The need and thirst to belong.”
“The Great Alone” by Kristin Hannah
“You couldn’t present me with more subject matters that I’m not interested in reading about, (the location, the backstory, living off the grid, the subject matter, all of it) and I couldn’t put this book down. Of all of Hannah’s books, this is one I recommend to everyone. Absolutely gripping.”
“The Little Liar” by Mitch Albom
“A beautiful fable-like take on the Holocaust from the point of view of Truth. Truth is the main character in this book and should be required reading for every child and Republican.”
“Letting Go” by David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD
“Self-help on the deepest level. This book is only for people who really want to go deep. I read this book once a year to make sure I am giving off the energy I want to receive back and as a reminder to put out the highest vibes possible.”
“I’ll Have What She’s Having” by Chelsea Handler
“This book was written to infuse every woman with the optimism and self-assuredness I feel. It was written to demonstrate how big and bold your life can be when you stop apologizing for your happiness, and what it truly means to be a sister.”
