Bambi vs Godzilla by David Mamet
Entertaining read with a few nuggets of screenwriting wisdom. Goes off on quite a few tangents and he seems to have a compulsion to explain just how incredibly macho he is.
Which Lie Did I Tell by William Goldman
This guy is such a great writer and has such an endearing voice. Lots of hilarious anecdotes and very open accounts of his life as a writer. The small section on Andre the Giant is incredibly touching. Great stuff.
Eating Animals by Jonathan Safron Foer
Kind of a let down. Love his fiction and heard amazing things about this, but I didn't think he took his examination and vegetarian philosophy far enough. I'm lucky enough to live in Seattle and be able to go to a farmer's market every weekend where I can buy pasture-raised, grass-fed beef, poultry, pork and lamb from small, organic, family farms. Foer limited his argument to nationally sold products and how few and far between those farms are and that factory farmed animals account for 99% of all US meat consumption. Well, I'm in the other 1% and would have really liked to read a logical and impassioned argument for still not eating those animals.
