Review:This book is nothing short of outstanding. I am a huge Mary Karr fan, but this just took it to another level-stalker. JK. Mary's writing is poetic without being pedantic. She somehow manages to nail an entire experience in one sentence which implores me to highlight it while repeating in my head, "brilliant!" As a writer myself, I am greatly humbled when I read her work. It's been about ten years since I've read "Cherry" and I was wondering when I picked up "Lit" if I would still love her writin...

Review:I am suprised that I actually enjoyed reading your book because I had previously bought into the stereotypical militant narrative I have come to associate with the MeTo movement. Thanks for letting me get into your head. Although I don't agree with your every conclusion regarding male - female interactions in the power game, you have certainly moved my thought's a bit more to the left. You are certainly a hell of a lot more than the mindless blow up sex doll you described feeling like earlier... Read more

Review:Loved the timespan and perspectives-amazing how Judd, even at a young age, was able to engage in such a personal way. His interviews remind me of why Howard Stern's interviews really work-personal and engaging -they are both truly interested in what makes people tick. Thanks for a great read! Read more

Review:If you like Nick Offerman's characters, especially Ron Swanson, you will love the book! He is a genuine midwesterner at heart, dedicated to his craft(s), with a great and lively story to tell! Will read more of his material. Read more

Review:Had seen interviews with Jerry on TV & thought he was interesting. Had no idea how interesting this man was! He seems to know anyone who's famous or important. Great story teller! He could write more books & I'd buy them all. All books should be this fun to read. Read more

Review:I thoroughly enjoyed the book (Age 77) and would recommend it for young people. The book makes you think, and it makes you take stock of yourself. I liked the questions at the end of chapters. Good read. Read more

Review:This book was very inspirational and a excellent read. I would recommend to anybody that wants to know more about the life of Jenni Rivera. She had a lot of struggles in life and instead of failing she would get up and fight. She become very successful and now she is an a better place. Read more

Review:This book is not nearly as good as anything written by Henry James himself. It is a novel about Henry James covering this mature years in London and Rye. This NOVEL--what does the author mean!?-- main characters are based on real people and named for the people they are based on, but because it is called a novel I suppose one cannot complain if you don't like it or some portrayal of the characters.
Henry James crawls achingly through the book mostly as a depressive personality. I don't be... Read more

Review:In an industry where everyone that "knows" says it takes millons to do anything is good to see something different.
The story is one of a kind, still is good to know it's real and can eventually happen. Read more

Review:I love auto biographies because they reveal so much and usually change your perception. I had read Burt Bacharach's bio so I was familiar somewhat. Carole has a richly rewarding God given talent and she is very deserving of her accolades and awards, no question. On the personal side, here is an almost hopelessly naive woman, who well up into her forties, has an adolescent fantasy of love and marriage that she can't seem to relinquish and I frankly felt like I wanted to slap her and say, "wake...
