The Glass Castle: A Memoir
Jeannette Walls
Scribner, 2006
Incredible story
Bought this book for a beach vacation, and once I started reading, I never put it down. It was fascinating, and the author grabs you at the first story and never lets go.
Her parents are very complex individuals, so you can't simply hate them. In a few (very few) ...

sTORI Telling
Tori Spelling
Simon Spotlight, 2008
great read
I read this book in two days. Growing up watching 90210 I was never fully a Tori fan. I have watched her show on Oxygen and saw that she was actually quite funny and down to earth. This book was very entertaining and I didn't want to put it down. I have a great ...

Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001)
Don Felder
Wiley, 2008
Felder is a class act
A lot of people probably aren't even aware that Felder wrote the Eagles biggest hit, Hotel California.
Dealing with "the Gods" Henley and Frey for so many years sounds like it was torturous at best but Felder refrains from unnecessary mudslinging and reports the ...

Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea
Chelsea Handler
Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008
Oh Vodka, where art thou?
This is one of the funniest, if not the funniest books I have read in years. I literally read it in a day. I had to stop myself and go do something else to make the book "last longer". Chelsea has a way of writing that makes you feel like she's a good friend sitting ...

Greg Behrendt, Liz Tuccillo
Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2006
Very Empowering!
This book is great. Bought it after getting dumped. I'd read a little everytime I started to feel a little down. It would even make me laugh sometimes. It was amazing how so much of it did apply to situations I had been in. It helped to realize that I am worth more ...

Too Fat to Fish
Artie Lange, Anthony Bozza
Spiegel & Grau, 2008
When good-for-little stand-up comic Artie Lange joined the permanent cast of The Howard Stern Show in 2001, it was nothing short of a renaissance in the Stern universe. The Stern juggernaut has never slowed since its 80s heyday, but Lange provided what Stern had yet to find all in the same place: a wit quick enough to keep pace with his own, a ...

Great read and new found appreciation from THE MAC

Somewhere in Heaven: The Remarkable Love Story of Dana and Christopher Reeve
Christopher Andersen
Hyperion, 2008
Wonderful bittersweet story
Worth every penny. I could not put this book down. Although I already knew the outcome and so many things (or so I thought) about Chris and Dana Reeves; I was still very touched by this book and how very much Dana and Chris loved each other. It also helped me with ...
