Neil Gaiman is My Chesterson

The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction by Neil Gaiman

November 18, 2021 by Ale Leave a Comment

I’ve had The View from the Cheap Seats on my TBR for a long time. For once, the university library had a book I actually wanted to read, so I checked it out while waiting for my local library request to come in. Gaiman’s collected nonfiction rides the gamut from his introductions to many novels, to speeches given at award ceremonies and conventions and interviews from his career as a journalist, as well as musings on writing and recollections on the people and books that have […]

Pleasure Activism

Love what you do, how you do it, and the body you do it in

Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good by Adrienne Maree Brown (Editor)

February 3, 2021 by zinka Leave a Comment

Woof. I have been reading a lot of really amazing critical work this year and a lot of it has been just for fun. Also, a lot of it makes me feel like my brain is exploding but in a way that feels really really good to me, and I think Adrienne Maree Brown would approve.   Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good, by Adrienne Maree Brown, is a collection of essays, interviews, and other writing by Brown as well as a series of […]

Q&A With Dolly Parton

Dolly on Dolly Interviews and Encounters with Dolly Parton by Randy L. Schmidt

January 18, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I went to the library with a specific title to pick up but then I saw the book next to it and thought that looked better. I was looking for the Dolly Parton memoir but ended up with Dolly on Dolly: Interviews and Encounters. I don’t regret this. As the title suggests, the majority of the book is transcripts of interviews Dolly Parton has given starting in 1967 and running through 2014. Most come from major publications like Playboy, Rolling Stone, and Ladies Home Journal. […]

Individual they both do well for themselves, but together as the group Daisy Jones and the Six, they are electric.

Not a funny book, but a book about being funny.

Sick in the Head: Conversations About Life and Comedy by Judd Apatow

November 16, 2015 by narfna Leave a Comment

This was an overall interesting book full of conversations. It is not comedic itself but ABOUT comedy and the people who create it. So, if you’re going into the book expecting to laugh, you’re really setting both yourself and the book up for failure. This book isn’t for people looking for empty laughs, it’s for people looking to read sometimes very personal conversations about comedy behind the scenes, what it takes to do the work, how it effects comedians personally, what kind of person becomes […]
