The more I learn about Betty White, the more I am amazed at what she has done. I knew her as an actress and then an animal’s rights activist. I knew she was married. Over the years I would learn she was an icon and not just because she did a Snickers commercial. Then That’s Betty!: The Story of Betty White comes along and Gregory Bonsignore just kept the info coming. She was a producer before women were producers. Her television history started at the […]

National Treasure, Betty White

So I will admit that my first known exposure to Betty White was as the sassy old lady in Lake Placid (one of the greatest movies of all time, and I’ll fight you on that) who feeds her husband to the crocodile. She cracked me up with her foul mouth and her cute little face.

If this weren’t written by Betty White, who I adore, this would probably get two stars. And all I can think is that if I don’t have something nice to say about such a lovely person’s writing, I just shouldn’t say anything at all. I’m having flashes to when the Friends would go see Joey’s play and say things like “the costumes were GREAT.” “The lighting, whew, spot on.” I think this book is meant to be a cute gift book, a stocking-stuffer with some […]

I have a summertime tradition of reading autobiographies. I tend to stick with ones by comedians of various stripes, but that’s more happenstance than plan. I have had If You Ask Me (And of Course You Won’t) on my to read list since sometime in the winter of 2012. Well, I finally got my act together and here we are. I’m happy to report that if you love Betty White (and seriously, if you don’t how do you even live with yourself?) and are in […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
