Debut LA author Jeff Bishop shares the power of Tina Fey’s ‘Bossypants.’
That’s when I came across a book that made me snort, I’m embarrassed to admit , just a bit.
Interestingly, this book of lists published in – believe or not – 2009, long after the internet supplanted tomes like the very real “The 500 World’s Greatest Golf Holes,” is terrific as far as I’ve flipped through it. Writers including Anne Applebaum, Jim Harrison, Oscar Hijuelos, Radhika Jones, Peter Orner, Jane Smiley, Calvin Trillin and more offer up favorites that, more often than not, I’ve never heard of.
Is this somewhat retro book one that you must own? No. Is it a book that I will read from cover to cover? I doubt it. Am I glad I picked it up for $5? Yep. Q. Is there a person who made an impact on your reading life – a teacher, a parent, a librarian or someone else?
