tripping the life unbalanced

I got halfway through this book and then it was due at the library and on to the next person who had reserved it (the list had like 500 people or something insane). I think it's interesting how he first pitched this story as a fiction piece, it was rejected numerous times and was finally accepted and published as a "memoir."

My mother-in-law desperately wanted to read this book, so of course I wanted nothing to do with it.

But now with all the controversy, I may have to pick up a copy somewhere. I read TSG stuff and I am just fascinated with the idea that the guy thought he could just lie and lie and wouldn't be found out.

I wonder if Oprah is going to make any response?

Ugh. That sucks. Salon.com had a pretty decent article about the whole scandal today. Hope this doesn't send him back into the bottle.

I bought the Star today just because of that headline. I didn't know or care who it was, but ohmygawd, someone duped OPRAH?!

I guess you'll be adding the Smoking Gun's 9300 word article to your reading list.
