♥ Unsinkable ¹ by Debbie Reynolds - Fabulous autobiography and Debbie was outstanding to listen to. What a talent and what an absolute doll.
Signifying Rappers ¹ by David Foster Wallace
* Wishful Drinking ¹ by Carrie Fisher
* On Tennis ¹ by David Foster Wallace
* The Naked Face by Sidney Sheldon
♥ Bad Dad by David Wallaims
♥ Murder Never Knocks ¹ by Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins - Oh this was such a great Mike Hammer book! I loved driving around at night, alone, just me and Stacy Keach's knee-weakening voice telling me all about Hammer and Velda, dodging bullets, rescuing dolls and dames, and taking down the bad guys.
* Ghost Buddy: Mind If I Read Your Mind ¹ by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver
* Ghost Buddy: How to Scare Your Pets ¹ by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver
Kill Me, Darling ¹ by Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins
* Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption ¹ by Stephen King - Fantastic, except for the rape scenes, which I knew were coming and just jumped ahead, and the film did it justice. Just a wonderful, wonderful story.
* Bogart: In Search of My Father ¹ by Stephen Bogart - Would have liked to have Stephen read his book, but the narrator did a flawless job and the story of Little Stevie and Noël Coward cracked me up. (For those of you not in the know, when Steve was four he, according to onlooker David Niven, snuck up behind Noël and cracked him on the back of the head with a tray. Noël didn't react, didn't turn around, just looked to Bogart and said (if memory serves) "Bogie, darling, I know what I'll get little Stevie for Christmas. A chocolate covered grenade.")
A Single Man ¹ by Christopher Isherwood - I couldn't wait for this to end. I was bored beyond belief.
² - abridged version
* - liked
♥ - loved
Any unmarked titles were, in my opinion, so-so.
