Joan Rivers’ New York Times Best seller novel, “I Hate Everyone … Starting with Me,” was banned by Costco, prohibiting the novel to be sold at their stores.

Well, she has made her living by criticizing others most of the time and can’t say that she is very nice either with her comments towards others.
