book 59

oh, how sad. i hope my pace isn't always this slow during the semester.

but enough about me, jancee dunn


dunn started writing for rolling stone back in 1989 and also worked a few other jobs (vj for mtv2, us weekly correspondent for good morning america, and maybe some others), so she has lots of good stories to tell about celebrities she's interviewed. these little snippets are interspersed with the "real" chapters of this memoir, which tell the story of dunn's life. while the anecdotes about celebrities are often laugh-out-loud funny (especially at the beginning), i think that i liked the stuff about dunn's real life more. you know i'm a sucker for an ordinary girl memoir. but all of it is smoothly written and very readable, and i particularly love that the acknowledgements page is written like a last will and testament in a high school yearbook.
