Nonfiction

I'm not posting this is the book thread because it doesn't fit. I want to know what your favorite nonfiction book is, and it doesn't necessarily have to be horror. So, I'm posting general.

My favorite nonfiction book is: And The Band Played On- by Larry Shiltz. It's a book that documents the early years of the AIDS epidemic.

I also love The Tao Teh Ching- by Lao Tsu and Wandering on the Way by Chuang Tsu.

I don't normally read a lot of nonfiction, but I would have to say that Please Kill Me was a very entertaining read. And I don't even like punk music. It's just fun to read about the depraved shenanigans of musically-inclined degenerates.

Yeah, I did see it. I enjoyed it emensely. I think Modine did a great job as Dr. Don Francis and Lily Tomblin as Dr. Selma Dritz. The guy that played Bill Klaus was waaaaaaaay too old.

The thing that threw me was Steve Martin. He only had like, a 10 minute role but I've never seen him in a more serious light. It really made me appreciate him as an actor more than a comedian.

Well... until Bringing Down the House.

Yeah, Steve Martin is emmensely talented. He just picks really stupid films. The best film I've ever seen him in is Parenthood...I mean besides his older films.

L.A. Story is my favorite Steve Martin movie. That movie was like an art piece...

Plus that was when I thought Sarah Jessica Parker was hot.

L.A. Story was a good satyr. Victoria Tenent was also in that movie. "Nothing a shower and a good fuck won't cure."

That WAS pre-way too fucking much plastic surgery- SJP
