Queen of the Oddballs: And Other True Stories from a Life Unaccording to Plan
Hillary Carlip

Eh...seems like working at NPR entitles you to a book deal or two. This is the sixth NPR correspondent book I've read in so many months. A woman recounts her experiences being on the fringe of the entertainment scene in Los Angeles. She also heavily details her many failed and finally succesful lesbian relationships. I was vaguely interested and it was an easy read but ultimately it felt like one big name dropping mantra. I was skimming by the end. I guess if you like to hear about doomed lesbian flings without descriptive sex and actor/singer encounters that go nowhere you'd like it. I was less than thrilled. Also it doesn't hurt to know L.A. businesses and streets/neighborhoods as well because she place drops? a lot as well.Yawn...
