Comedian, author, and founder of Tiny Reparations Books, Phoebe Robinson, has shared her top six favorite reads with Page Six. Her love for books is evident, and her picks reflect her interest in cultural identity, biographies, and lifestyle theory.

"To know me is to know I love books," Robinson said. "Whether it's in the corner nook of my couch or on the subway, reading is a big part of my life."

Robinson's Top Six Picks:

• 

  'We Are Never Meeting in Real Life' by Samantha Irby - This book of essays is Irby's chronicle of her past - the good, the bad, the emotional, and the cringeworthy. "Her ability to be vulnerable, hilarious, and raw should be studied," Robinson said. "This book had me cackling loudly."
