2008 book 199

Carrie Fisher's Wishful Drinking
Christina's been reading autobiographies of classy Hollywood ladies like Katherine Hepburn, but Carrie Fisher's book version of her one-woman show--touching on her mental illness, celebrity parents, failed romances, and Star Wars--was way more my speed. It's a quick read (perfect for a break from boxing up books), frank and funny.

Carrie Fisher's books are great, because she writes about what she knows. Every book has her personal stamp, her real life is woven through out, as semi-veiled autobiographies.

Most people don't know that she's one of Hollywood's top go to script doctors. Yeah, she doesn't get credits, but she's in demand. When you read her, it's no wonder.
