Have I Told You This Already? Stories I Don’t Want to Forget to Remember
It’s Tuesday and that means more new books are hitting the shelves! I am sooo excited for one book in particular…
Have I Told You This Already?: Stories I Don’t Want to Forget to Remember
by Lauren Graham
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Genre: Humor/Memoir
Lauren Graham has graced countless television screens with her quick-witted characters and hilarious talk show appearances, earning a reputation as a pop culture icon who always has something to say. In her latest book, Have I Told You This Already?, Graham combines her signature sense of humor with down-to-earth storytelling. Graham shares personal stories about her life and career—from her early days spent pounding the pavement while waitressing in New York City, to living on her aunt’s couch during her first Los Angeles pilot season, to thoughts on aging gracefully in Hollywood.
In “R.I.P. Barneys New York” Graham writes about an early job as a salesperson at the legendary department store (and the time she inadvertently shoplifted from it); in “Ryan Gosling Cannot Confirm,” she attempts to navigate the unspoken rules of Hollywood hierarchies; in “Boobs of the ’90s” she worries her bras haven’t kept up with the times; and in “Actor-y Factory” she recounts what a day in the life of an actor looks like (unless you’re Brad Pitt).
Filled with surprising anecdotes, sage advice, and laugh-out-loud observations, these all-new, original essays showcase the winning charm and wry humor that have delighted Graham’s millions of fans.
I am a big Gilmore Girls fan so I am all about listening to Lauren’s stories. Plus, I enjoyed her other book, Talking As Fast As I Can. This time around I will go with the audiobook so I can hear the stories in her actual voice. (Side note: Clearly I love books, otherwise, I wouldn’t have a book blog. However, memoirs are typically not my thing. Has to be a special reason for me to pick up a memoir!)
How much do I love Lauren’s portrayal in GG? Enough that this is MY Lorelai Gilmore. She loves food, crazy clothes, barking fast, and watching TV…just like her namesake. She also loves hard and provides a lot of laughs. She even answers to Lore.
And if you are also a Gilmore Girls fan…you might be interested in this cookbook…Gilmore Girls: The Official Cookbook. I’ve enjoyed making the recipes from it, and my niece made the candy sushi during her summer visit with us.
