Howard Stern???
First off, I hate his show, I loved this book and the movie.
Private Parts is hilarious, compelling and truthful. I've never been a huge Howard fan, I saw this book and for some reason started reading.
The book is his story, how he got where he is now and where ...

Keillor is an old style democrat in both the small and large D sense. He is a bit of a bleeding heart liberal, which he makes no attempt to hide or excuse. There is no doubt that hard-core Republicans will deride the book as the product of a naïve do-gooder mentality. ...

An Excellent Compendium of Shepherd's Life
