Look he has a sword on the cover, he's crazy, and a good writer. I've yet to try his cooking. Very educational too. I learned not to eat the fish on Monday, and I think I have a new lifecalling.

Did you know that Mick wrote this all with pen and paper. If you think that's insane you should read the book, and if you talk to him make sure you're speaking into his good ear, well his only ear.

I love these movies, after reading this I not only want to hang out with Bruce but I want to move next door now.
The Big ShowThe Big Show by Keith Olbermann

Kind of fluffy but it's nice to have Keith and Dan together on this book. Learn where their catchphrases come from too. I miss them being together and this helps lessen the pain of their break-up

They really did give lion cubs as gifts and when it got too big they would tie it up to a park bench. I wish I could see that. That would be kind of funny. Alright it would be funny

Henry knows how to write and this is some good stuff. I forgot if he beat Hillary Clinton for the Grammy of audio book. I hope he did. This is much better than It Takes a Village

This is for real. Behind the scenes of all his movies and shows and a history on the main man himself. Kind of monotonus but if you like Lynch... you're used to monotany then.

you love it or you don't. It tells biographies on all the muppets, as well as humans. Gotta love it though for the Guy Smiley section.

Great stuff... I like the Hudson Hawk chapter the most. Although the Warlock chapter was interesting due to it's lameness of a movie.
