In 'One Nightstand', Chelsea Handler shares her literary journey, highlighting her father's early influence on her reading habits with classic works from Tolstoy to Steinbeck. As an adult, Handler prefers books that offer substantial insights rather than light-hearted narratives. She discusses her favorite books, including 'Letting Go' by David Hawkins and 'Circe' by Madeline Miller, emphasizing themes of emotional resilience and human emotions, particularly female rage, reflecting her preference for complex, thought-provoking literature.
"My father forced me to read books when I was little because I was very loud and precocious, and he wanted me to be at home where I couldn't get into trouble."
"I don't like soft stuff. I like to learn something after I read. I don't like fantasy...I want something meaty and juicy."
