    I just got done with a book called Sherlock Holmes Illustrated. It contains several of Holmes short stories, and info about Holmes, Conan Doyle, London at the time, and Scotland Yard.

    Up next is the book that UtW recommended for me.

    The only author listed is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I found it in a local library besides the canon stories/books under Doyle's name. Here's the amazon page for it. https://www.amazon.com/Sherlock-Holm.../dp/0723565996

    I just got done reading Betty White's autobiography, If You Ask Me(And of Course You Won't). It's a great insight into her life.

    I'mNow reading William Shatner's autobiography, Shatner Rules. So far, I'm while reading it.

    After this book, I plan on reading two American classics, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and Alice Walker's The Color Purple.

    Did she address why she posed nude as a young actress? I don't ask that in a judge-y way; I'm just curious if she needed the dough and/or didn't consider it a big deal.

    I just finished a fantastic debut novel called "Sweetbitter" by Stephanie Danler!!! I can't believe it was her first book and it was so well written and I couldn't put it down. It's about Tess, a young woman who moves to New York from Ohio in 2006 and gets a job at a fancy restaurant making friends with her fellow coworkers, idolizes an older server Simone who takes her under her wing, and falls for the "bad boy" bartender Jake. It seems ideal for a while but then Tess starts to realize the truth and it's heartbreaking. I could relate so much to Tess as I used to think about moving to New York or California as a teen but never did, usually end up falling for the wrong boys, and that I used to work at a restaurant and I hated it. LOL This is one I really hope becomes a movie and made me a fan of Stephanie.

    I mostly "do" audiobooks now, as I previously mentioned, because of a long commute. Just started Donald Fagen's Eminent Hipsters, a book of essays which he narrates himself. Mr. Fagen of course is the voice and at least half the brain of Steely Dan.

    What a jazz fiend this man is! And he communicates his passion so persuasively that I find myself listening to the Boswell Sisters, a 1920s New Orleans singing trio, because he argues so well that Connie Boswell is a musician's musician with a catalogue as worthy of respect as Duke Ellington.

    No, she didn't. This book focuses more on her life in recent years. (It has published in 2011.)
