It's Only Temporary: The Good News and Bad News on Being Alive by Evan Handler

Note: Evan (Charlotte's husband on Sex and the City) sent me the best PR email I have ever seen anyone send. Ever. He did exactly what you're supposed to do - he researched and made a personal connection. Not that he needs my help, but he was cool about it so I had no problem reading it. The book is pretty good too. The middle essay "My Life" is a perfect illustration of why Tucker is doing his movie the way that he is. At the very least, I am buying his other book.

Raising Kayne: Life Lessons from the Mother of a Hip-Hop Superstar by Donda West (textbook on raising a narcissist. This book is awful.)
The Harder They Fall by Budd Schulberg
Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community by Robert Putnam
