THINGS I OVERHEARD WHILE TALKING TO MYSELF

As a follow-up to his bestseller, NEVER HAVE YOUR DOG STUFFED, Alan Alda has scored a perfect “10.” This very funny and hugely insightful memoir picks up where his previous book left off—with his having emergency surgery after nearly dying on a mountaintop in Chile—and introduces new stories of life, love, and the meaning of it all. This audio presentation is excellent in every way. Alda’s voice is so familiar that he’s easy to listen to. There’s no doubt his purpose is to share the wisdom he has acquired in his long and productive life, a life that is far from over. His straightforward style helps makes this audio presentation meaningful, heartwarming, and just plain funny. M.R.E. 2008 Grammy Nominee © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 08]
