Fave Book?

[JaniceFerSure]

Ha, I saw that book today when I was visiting the bookstore today, so I skimmed through it. What great photos (my favorite was the long shot of the Stage 9 camp set). I would've gotten it, but right now I'm broke, and I can't spend my money anymore.

Jim Henson-The Works and ...MASH were the 2 expensive books in my collection,over $20 a piece;but they'll last me forever and a day.I have a lot of favorite autobiographies too:

• Charles Grodin
• Robert Klein
• Goldie Hawn
• Gilda Radner
• Jamie Farr
• Tony Curtis
• Ricci Martin
• Ben Gazzara

I am currently reading The Divine Comedy by Dante. I'm only about half way through 'Inferno' but I think it's safe to say that it's deserving of a place on the list - unless something goes badly wrong with the other two parts. I was a bit dissappointed though because the translation I'm reading says "No room for hope for those who enter here." rather than the classic "Abandon all hope...". Still, it's a jolly good read.
