Amy Poehler dishes funny in 'Yes Please' book

Amy Poehler dishes funny in 'Yes Please' book, With the best-selling book "Bossypants," Tina Fey proved that she can be just as smart and entertaining in print as she is behind a "Weekend Update" desk or cohosting the Golden Globes. No surprise, then, that Amy Poehler is following in her pal and comedy cohort's footsteps.

"Yes Please," which hits bookstores Tuesday, is a collection of writings from the star of NBC's "Parks and Recreation." Poehler offers candid memories and musings on building her career, dealing with Hollywood, facing serious issues and other assorted laughs and life lessons.

Like Leslie Knope on "Parks and Rec," Poehler has achieved much and still kept her enthusiasm and zaniness. Give her volume a place in your library next to "Bossypants," Elizabeth Strout's novel "Olive Kitteridge," Nobel Peace Prize-winner Malala Yousafzai memoir, "I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot By the Taliban," and Sen. Elizabeth Warren's call to help working families survive economically, "A Fighting Chance."

What, you don't have an eclectic female role models shelf at your house?
