In her first work of nonfiction, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood recounts her experiences on Gilmore Girls – the first and second times – and shares stories about life, love, and working in Hollywood. This collection of essays is written in the intimate, hilarious, and down-to-earth voice that made her novel, Someday, Someday, Maybe, a New York Times best seller.
“This book contains some stories from my life: the awkward growing up years, the confusing dating years, the fulfilling working years, and what it was like to be asked to play one of my favorite characters again. You probably think I’m talking about my incredible achievement as Dolly in Hello, Dolly! as a Langley High School junior, a performance my dad called ‘you’re so much taller than the other kids.’ But no! I’m talking about Lorelai Gilmore, who, back in 2008, I wasn’t sure I’d ever see again. Also included: tales of living on a houseboat, meeting guys at awards shows, and that time I was asked to be a butt model. A hint: all three made me seasick.” (Lauren Graham)
Wonderful & magical…..just like Stars Hollow!! Copper Boom! I just finished #readingasfastasican Lauren Graham’s book #talkingasfastasican. What an absolute treasure! It’s a quick read full of great stories, humor & some wonderful photos sprinkled throughout. My only complaint….just call me Oliver because I want some more! Please! And I’m definitely getting the audio version, because the only thing that would make this book more entertaining is listening to LG read it.
Lauren’s trademark humor is reason enough to read this book This book is a very fast read. I started and finished it on a plane from Denver to Detroit. Lauren’s trademark humor is reason enough to read this book, just ask my fellow passengers. I especially liked the “What It Was Like, Part Two” – BTS diary entries. Unfortunately, several of the chapters seemed like they were a rehashing of content she has used in past interviews. All in all, a very enjoyable (albeit quick) read.
Pass the tacos and the coffee! I got this yesterday, thanks to a goof from Amazon shipping, and finished it last night. Reading this must be what it’s like to have a highly caffeinated Lauren Graham sitting next to you telling you stories about her life. I loved the behind the scenes looks at both Gilmore Girls projects and the whole book was a delight. I honestly don’t remember the last time I sat down and read an entire book in less than a day, but this was like binging on the recent Netflix movies – I didn’t want to stop…
