I had a tough time falling asleep last night, so I finished reading 700 Sundays by Billy Crystal. I have to say, I really liked this book. It is a great insight into Crystal's very interesting life and it is a great read. I really enjoy the personal narrative, so books like this and the Mitch Albaum books really appeal to me.

I know that books that are more academic or philosophical in nature are more appreciated around here, but if you want an interesting, easy read that might even provoke some thoughts. Consider 700 Sundays or even One More Day by Mitch Albaum.

Perhaps that will be my next book -sounds interesting. I actually really liked Pure Drivel by Steve Martin. Don't know if the two are similar -I gues I will have to find out.

Probably Throw Mama From the Train, although I must admit I liked City Slickers...and 61, a movie he directed.

My all time favorite, although he's not actually the star, is his stint in The Princess Bride.

Also favorites:
1. America's Sweethearts (LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!)
2. Forget Paris
3. Monsters Inc.
