Wishful Drinking - Carrie Fisher (2008)After a few novels, Carrie Fisher pens this memoir based on her live show. Growing up in the spotlight, with two famous parents, and her first gig acting in the first (or fourth) Star wars, Carrie spends most of her adult life dealing with her addictions and bipolar disorder.
Littered with amusing anicdotes, I can't help walking away feeling she is a bit whiney and needy. I just want to tell the woman, to get over who her parents are, what they did, what they are like now, grow up, toss out the pills and the booze and just live your own life.
Not much more than an hours read, barely worth taking out of the library or buying at the bookstore, you could just sit down and read it there. 2/5
