Widowed at thirty-three with two small kids, Beverly Simpson wants someone to blame. Angry, hurt, and full of regret for what she’s lost, she rails against a once trusted God and hides her loneliness behind a sassy exterior. Joe Clark, intrigued by Bev’s irreverent approach to life, stubbornly pursues her. However, the pair have two very different outlooks on life. Joe is a dedicated preacher, while Bev insists she no longer even believes in God.

I have been a fan of ALW's works as long as I can remember. It was great to finally get the back story on his life. His talent alone is phenomenal. I am glad I live during this period in time to witness this first hand.

I have watched Sally Field what seems my entire life, always a fan. I was more than surprised to find out what she was going thru, just to be able to work. Love her more and fully understand why she said "You really like me" at the Academy Awards. Yes, Sally... we do really like you.

Audie Award, Narration by Author, 2016. Raised by unconventional Irish Catholics who knew "how to drink, how to dance, how to talk, and how to stir up the devil", Kate Mulgrew grew up with poetry and drama in her bones. But in her mother, a would-be artist burdened by the endless arrival of new babies, young Kate saw the consequences of a dream deferred.

Would you consider the audio edition of But Enough About Me to be better than the print version?
Burt Reynolds in his writings of this book shares his deepest regrets, losses and loves. In many spots as he reads this himself, his voice cracks at referring to his loves and those he lost. He is very unguarded with his observations of himself and those around him. A true insight to the man.

If you could sum up Steve Jobs in three words, what would they be?
Steve Jobs is a perfect example of the genius/insanity line is weaved back and forth to create what we all use on a daily basis. It is thought Steve had Aspergers Syndrome. This explains his inability to think Inside the box and show compassion for those around him. Even mentally challenged can contribute enormous things to society. Steve Jobs did just that.

Between 1948 and 1961, Ernest Hemingway and A. E. Hotchner traveled together, fished the waters off Cuba, hunted in Idaho, and ran with the bulls in Pamplona. Everywhere they went, they talked. For 14 years, Hotchner and Hemingway shared their thoughts and as Hemingway reminisced about his childhood, recalled the Paris literary scene of the 20s, and recounted the real events that lay behind his fiction, Hotchner took it all down.

It is difficult for some to understand the genius behind his writings and why once he lost his ability to write ... he felt his life was over. Sad story .. but great read.
