<description><![CDATA[What we have here... no failure to communicate. George Kennedy has taken control of his autobiographical narrative on the subject of his own personal history in his revealing new book, Trust Me: A Memoir. With unabashed candor, unmitigated humility and the utmost respect for his luminary cohorts throughout his eminence in acting, George Kennedy took on the daunting task of time compression - 86 years into 210 pages. Needless to say, H. G. Wells' Time Machine couldn't make the milk run throughout the last century with so many stops of interest in such a terse read.]]></description>

<title>A Review of the Book, Life by Keith Richards</title>

<pubDate>Thu, 22 Dec 2011 10:08:26 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[What a book. This has to be the best memoir written by a musician - with help from James Fox as a ghost writer - since the forties. I am exactly the same age as Keith Richards and I know what he is talking about when he refers to life in that extraordinary era of the '60's. So he went nuts and took to drink and drugs in a big way when he had fame and fortune thrust upon him at an early age. Of course he did, so would any one of us around twenty years old in the mid sixties, who had made a few million; but we wouldn't have been able to come up with the spectacular guitar 'riffs' that made him so famous. Even Tony Bennett who was being interviewed on the CBC on 'Q' this morning said how thankful he was that he had only really become famous when he was old enough to handle it, and he has just produced his first Number One record around the world in time for his 85th birthday!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The military was a good match for Zamperini - who found himself manning the bombardier section of a B-24 Liberator aircraft. During a low level search mission, his plane crashed and he faced the ardor of life adrift the Pacific for 47 days. Like a stanza taken from Rime of the Ancient Mariner, he and his pilot endured little to eat or drink. Inevitably, an albatross lit on their craft and was killed to bring needed nourishment. According to an old sailors' tale, killing an Albatross disrespected the souls of those lost at sea and was certain to bring bad luck. Zamperini had no idea...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  How to Paint Chickens or The Way My Life Was and How it is Now, the main title of Vladimir A. Shvartsman's book, is not a course in modern art - he literally painted chickens during his youth for identification purposes. Growing up in rural Russia, dirt poor and learning the ins-and-outs of responsibility, he would put a chicken "to sleep" by tucking its head under its wing, and swinging it back and forth like a pendulum.]]></description>

<pubDate>Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:00:07 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Author Darwin Porter, following his remarkable 2003 book on the private life of Humphrey Bogart, has surpassed himself with this incredibly detailed biography of Katharine Hepburn, one of the 20th century's premier stage and movie stars. "Write anything about me you like," she told Porter, "just don't ever tell the truth." Sorry, Kate. Here comes the truth. Although Katharine the Great catalogs her work on 25 films up until 1950, including how close she came to landing the role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind, the author focuses on what happened behind the movie camera - on the set and off. And in the bedroom.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Odds are, you've heard the classic 1979 Pop and R&B tune, "We Are Family," by Sister Sledge, co-written by Nile Rodgers of the 70s R&B group, Chic. Rodgers released his memoir in October, entitled "Le Freak," named after Chic's 1978 smash hit.

<description><![CDATA[This book had a lot going for it when I looked it over prior to making the purchase. Unfortunately, it proved disappointing. I found it overly focused on Ms. Leifer's lesbianism, Judaism, weight, wrinkles, feminine hygiene issues and boring family relationships. I might be quoting a line the writer herself came up with in saying this, but let me make an important point before continuing: "Not that there's anything wrong with (any of) that! Anyway, that's just me. I can't say I wasn't warned. In his book jacket blurb, Bill Maher specifically noted that this book is "made for a woman." So, I accept responsibility-what was I thinking?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Untold Stories by Alan Bennett is something of a potpourri. It starts with an autobiographical exploration of social and family origins, and then moves on to include occasional pieces on travel, architecture and art, copious diaries from 1996 to 2004, reflections on previous and current work and essays on contemporaries, educational experience and culture. The fact that it all hangs together beautifully is a result of its author's consummate skills, both linguistic and perceptive.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many of us loved 'Life'. Co-written by writer and journalist James Fox, the book captures the natural story telling tendencies of the irrepressible rock and roller Keith Richards as he delivers anecdote after anecdote that defies belief and leaves you marvelling that the man is still standing let alone performing today. I found myself speculating what a movie based on the book would be like and then you start to realise that he has lived his life within or on the periphery of movies.]]></description>
