#15 Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher















Carrie Fisher = Princess Leia.  Wishful Drinking is such a mess I could hardly follow it.  This book took me forever to read.  Apparently, Carrie Fisher has had shock therapy and can't remember 85% of her past.  She has a hard time forming a coherent sentence.  She will be in the middle of telling a story and just totally go off on a rabbit trail and talk about something else.  The frustrating part...she never finishes the first story.  I am surprised that the person or persons that edited this book let her get away with publishing it as is.  This is by far the worst of the worst so far and only gets a 1 out of 5.

#14 Why We Suck! by Denis Leary














Oh Denis Leary...we have such a love/hate relationship.  As an actor, I can't stand him.  I think he is very much like Nic Cage in that he only has one way of talking....ever.  As a writer, that style comes across as VERY easy to read.  His book was funny.  It was yet another Matt pick that he got halfway through and put down.  But I am glad I read it.  3.5 out 5.
