New Books, But Why?

I tell you, I'm doing craptacularly on my reading goals so far this month. One week in and all I've got under my belt is the first 50 or so pages of Gary Shteyngart's Absurdistan (which, meh). Today though, the postman dropped off an Amazon order: Role Models by John Waters (yes, the filmmaker), Tab Hunter Confidential: The Making of a Movie Star by Tab Hunter and Eddie Muller, and three books about clay.

The John Waters and Tab Hunter book came about because I Netflix'd This Filthy World, Waters's filmed one-man show. In it he name-checks Tab Hunter (who of course was in several of Waters's films). Looking them up on Amazon yielded autobiographies by both. I'm a sucker for a juicy closeted (and non-closeted) Hollywood star autobiography, so I ordered them both.  I'll probably jump into the Hunter one first, push back Absurdistan.


Weather's really been too nice to sit inside reading though!
