A True Sports Story By The Greatest
Revisado: 04-27-25
The man has such a clear and unique talent to identify the story in an event-hearing him share his experience is such a treat. Mr Lampley reports on his highs, lows, tales of heartache, connection, failed relationships and love.., and in and around sports. Give it a listen… he reads! Wonderful

Could you write what you write if you weren’t so tiny, Joan? —Eve Babitz, in a letter to Joan Didion, 1972. Joan Didion, revealed at last… Eve Babitz died on December 17, 2021. Found in the wrack, ruin, and filth of her apartment, a stack of boxes packed by her mother decades before. The boxes were pristine, the seals of duct tape unbroken. Inside, a lost world. This world turned for a certain number of years in the late sixties and early seventies, and centered on a two-story rental in a down-at-heel section of Hollywood.

Thrilling
Revisado: 12-04-24
There’s an audio clip (no spoilers) that really ties this story together, that solidifies all the third party insight, it’s frankly, and literally thrilling.
It plays a little less like your traditional audiobook, more elevated, similar to a podcast at times. The author (Lili Anolik) reading her own words, and Emma Roberts voicing Eve’s letters—takes you there.
Enjoy!

Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard, a classic film noir and also a damning dissection of the Hollywood dream factory, evokes the glamour and ruin of the stars who subsist on that dream. It’s also one long in-joke about the movie industry and those who made it great - and who were, in turn, destroyed by it. One of the most critically admired films of the 20th century, Sunset Boulevard is also famous as silent-star Gloria Swanson’s comeback picture.

Well Researched, But…
Revisado: 11-26-24
If you love the movie—you’ll mostly enjoy this book. It undoes itself with weird editorializing along the way. It’s unsure what it wants to be. Come for the research, you’ll mostly enjoy it.

Clay, a successful screenwriter, has returned from New York to Los Angeles to help cast his new movie, and he’s soon drifting through a long-familiar circle. Blair, his former girlfriend, is married to Trent, an influential manager who’s still a bisexual philanderer, and their Beverly Hills parties attract various levels of fame, fortune and power. Then there’s Clay’s childhood friend Julian, a recovering addict, and their old dealer, Rip, face-lifted beyond recognition and seemingly even more sinister than in his notorious past.

My Favorite Audiobook Of All Time
Revisado: 05-25-24
Andrew McCarthy’s meta meta reading of Imperial Bedroom not only fights Bret Easton Ellis’ exquisite book, it somehow makes the movie better/good. McCarthy has such a pure and harmonious read on BEE’s words—it’s literally musical. The book harrowing, personal, absurd, delicious, and fucked. I promise you’ll knock it out in two days tops.

Some Crucial Mispronunciations
Revisado: 05-30-22
Fantastic, and super insightful book about the shift in Hollywood (from bloated Roadshow pics to art house influenced films). The author mispronounced “Sidney Lumet” (Lumb it), and a couple other names. Mostly a great reading and wonderful book

In 2006, Matthew Specktor moved into a crumbling Los Angeles apartment opposite the one in which F. Scott Fitzgerald spent the last moments of his life. Fitz had been Specktor's first literary idol, someone whose own passage through Hollywood had, allegedly, broken him. Freshly divorced, professionally flailing, and reeling from his mother's cancer diagnosis, Specktor was feeling unmoored. But rather than giving in or "cracking up", he embarked on an obsessive journey to make sense of the mythologies of "success" and "failure" that haunt the artist's life and the American imagination.

Revisado: 04-16-22
Wonderfully written, elegantly read. I recommend this book to everyone I know. If Spektor’s language, and references seem specifically tailored to you— it’ll resonate deeply. If you want to just read a good book about a person navigating passion and loss via ideas and art—you’ll get it too
