IF YOU'RE TALKING TO ME, YOUR CAREER MUST BE IN TROUBLE by Joe Queenan (Hyperion) is a terrific title--in the great tradition of BUT ENOUGH ABOUT YOU by Cynthia Heimel. This collection of essays about current movies and entertainment celebrities makes entertaining reading. Add Queenan to the roster of excellent magazine writers who might write a really good book some day.
From an Internet point of view, an interesting feature of this book is that Queenan's prose style highly suitable for hypertexting. He makes a lot of references to great movies of the past and a lot of internal references to his own ouevre of idiosyncratic and amusing value judgments.
If you like movies, you'll like this book.
