9 Reasons We Need An Amy Schumer “Guide to Life”

by Brigid Ronan

If you haven’t fallen down the Inside Amy Schumer rabbit hole yet, it's time to step back and take a good, hard look at the choices you've made thus far in your adult years. You're not a child anymore. It's time to take hold of your life, put down that smartphone, open up your laptop's browser to the Comedy Central homepage to watching some good TV for a change.

Yes, she's funny; yes, her material feels fresh and of-the-moment (even when parodying the classic black and white 12 Angry Men). But all joking aside, Amy's fearless take on contemporary feminism is reason alone to take a look at what the comedian has to say about, well, everything. Aside from her hit show, already renewed for its fourth season, Schumer already has her first film, Trainwreck , on the horizon. This begs the question: When will we be graced with her first book? Can you imagine the wells of wisdom that we are currently being deprived of without the existence of a Schumer-inked guide to life?

So, while we float, rudderless, through a hostile world, here are 9 reasons we need lifestyle guru Amy Schumer to write us a book…
