This book was mentioned in the Chuck Berry book I recently read, and I am always intrigued by people who are writers and then they write a book about it. I enjoyed reading this book, and he had a lot of interesting stories of Hustler and Larry Flynt.

Chuck Berry: An American Life – by RJ Smith
I will admit and tell you that it took me a few times to get into this book as I couldn’t get past the first few chapters. But I finally decided to skim through them really quick and start from where his parents met. I enjoyed reading about his life, his musical influences, what his…
Uphill: A Memoir – by Jemele Hill
Before Niko was born in 2016, I was a sports fan; not the biggest and flashiest, but a fan in general. I was a frequent viewer of ESPN, and that is how I know who Jemele Hill is. I didn’t know about her controversial Tweets that got her in trouble a few times, I didn’t…

After the 3rd book ends, Adam and Evelyn make a drastic decision to move to Istanbul for a few months to enjoy the scenery and to test their relationship. Well, this book, tells us what happened, and just like his other “weird travel series”, I really enjoyed this one. With all of his books I…

This is the 3rd book by Adam Fletcher in his “weird travel series.” And just like the first two, I really enjoyed this one. Yes, I googled an image of a Tuk-Tuk, just to have a better idea of what they were dealing with. So, it is indeed a story of two strangers, and of…

Love, Pamela – by Pamela Anderson
Unlike other memoirs of celebrities that I have read recently, I knew who Pamela Anderson was. She had a rough childhood but became well known for her body very quickly. She talked about her very fast rise to fame, her marriages (and her infamous sex tape with Tommy Lee), her kids, and her animal rights…
Don’t Go There: From Chernobyl to North Korea – by Adam Fletcher
I was intrigued by the title, and when I researched who Adam Fletcher was, I knew this would be right up my alley as I do like funny and autobiographical travel books. I enjoyed everything he wrote about his travels to interesting places in the world where normal people like me wouldn’t travel to. I…
My Trip Down the Pink Carpet – by Leslie Jordan
I already read his 2nd book, and afterwards, I really wanted to read his 1st book. Well, I enjoyed it very much. Nothing was off limits for him as he wrote about his homosexuality, drug and alcohol abuse, and his passion for helping AIDS patients. He also had a lot of funny stories about being…
Howard Hughes: The Secret Life – by Charles Higham
I have read a few books this year, where Howard Hughes is mentioned. Not really knowing much about him, I sought out to find a good biography of him, and this one didn’t disappoint me. Charles Higham provided an excellent background of Howard and his family, how he made money, all the romantic relationships (with…
