A Very Fake Preview of Hillary Clinton's New Book of Essays

On Wednesday, Simon & Schuster announced it will be releasing a collection of Hillary Clinton essays this fall.

As reported by the Associated Press, the publisher says Clinton will "tell stories from her life, up to and including her experiences in the 2016 presidential campaign".

The book doesn't have a title yet, but is focused on "hundreds of favorite quotations" that have inspired our favorite Nasty Woman. Yep, hundreds. And you thought  was annoying to lug around in your carry-on.

"These are the words I live by," Clinton said. "These quotes have helped me celebrate the good times, laugh at the absurd times, persevere during the hard times and deepen my appreciation of all life has to offer.

"I hope by sharing these words and my thoughts about them, the essays will be meaningful for readers."

Can we just take a moment to imagine what those essays might be?

Chapter one: "Be like water." (Or: "How to not punch your opponent in the face during a presidential debate.")

"Deep breaths. Hold the calm, dead-eyed stare of a million women in a million boardrooms.
