Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher
Stacey got me this for Xmas for no reason whatsoever, except that Carrie Fisher was in Star Wars, The Blues Brothers and When Harry Met Sally, all of which I love.
This book is based on a one-woman show by Ms. Fisher, and it shows. It’s a stand up routine written down; You can feel where the pause-for-laughters were thrown in.
It’s a quick read, with some interesting anecdotes, though none about Sally or Blues Brothers.
I felt the same way, information wise. But boy howdy did I laugh. I caused my co-workers to stare at me in disbelief and my wife to almost call 911.
I completely agree. The book was her routine written down, and quite frankly, I’m happy that I never saw her stand up.
Maybe it’s funnier when she says it.
