I LIKE YOU: HOSPITALITY UNDER THE INFLUENCE: Amy Sedaris: Nonfiction: Warner Books(2006): 303 pgs
When Amy Sedaris says ‘under the influence’, she’s talking about the generally understood term. She’s bold, original, and not your average Provo Party Planner. This is a very special guide to entertaining in Style—capital S. And Amy’s style is an indefinite blend of the quirky-sophisticated, heavy on the quirky. I Like You is both personal memoir and a hospitality how-to for those searching for the unusual. Amy intersperses diary-like stories with her famous recipes, decorating ideas, and guest list practicalities.
The large, coffee-table book is a funky throwback to the 1970’s. All pictures and illustrations are dedicated to that groovy era. The book is filled with hilarious and only slightly shocking photos of the author in mostly modest stages of hospitable dress.
In addition to being a compendium of tips to throwing a rager of a dinner party, Amy also dispenses womanly wisdom on all topics of female interest. So if you’re feeling slightly edgy and desire to shock the socks off your neighborhood, call Amy--who truly does like you.

This was a charming book, I loved it. Just trying to imagine Amy living in an apartment in NYC with her pet rabbit left me in stitches. Mostly I just enjoyed the humor, but I did try a couple of the recipes and found them to be pretty good.
