‘SNL’ writer Ceara O’Sullivan’s six favorite books include some comedy bestsellers
“Saturday Night Live” writer Ceara O’Sullivan has never met a book she didn’t like.
“I love to read,” she tells Page Six, adding that her favorite genres are fantasy and memoirs.
“Lately, I’m gravitating towards anything ‘easy’ I can pick up while I’m on vacation or on a Sunday afternoon and just relax,” O’Sullivan, who hosts the “Petty Crimes” podcast alongside Griff Stark-Ennis, explains. “I never judge myself for reading fluff, and I maintain — audiobooks count as reading!”
The writer says she loves wandering around Central Park in New York City while listening to a good book and sometimes she uses audiobooks to calm down after a late-night at “SNL.”
“I do laps around my apartment with an audiobook in my AirPods ’til I’ve burnt off enough energy to go to bed,” she says. “My husband calls it my ‘nighttime stomps.’”

“You really lose yourself in Brooklyn and small-town Ireland. I became really interested in Eilis’ decisions about what to do with her life in this coming-of-age story. I’m Irish and I studied abroad in Maynooth in college — actually, I called my mom at the end of the semester and said, ‘I’m going to finish college in Ireland, I think,’ and she said, ‘No you’re not, you’re flying home.’ I love Irish lit.”
“David Sedaris is a genius. His comedy is darker, more autobiographical. Love his approach to joke-telling.”
“I love a good bestseller mystery! The protagonist, Molly, was so endearing. I was really rooting for her.”
“I enjoyed both the book and TV show adaptation. It’s soapy in the best way, and touches important themes.”
“I read this book in college and I can’t deny — it definitely contributed to me wanting to write for ‘SNL.’”
“This novel is hilarious. Everyone I recommended it to has loved it.”
