Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher

If you've been dying to see Carrie Fisher's stage performances, read this book.

Otherwise, go back and read "Postcards from the Edge" or "Delusions of Grandma." They were just as autobiographical, and much more coherent. And funny. They were really funny and quick.

Although Star Wars fiends will relish her new tidbits on "character development" and behind-the-scenes peeks. (It was Harrison's weed that finally did her in!)

I think Carrie Fisher is one of the funniest women on the planet, and this book does her humor no justice. If you don't already know everything about her, it won't make sense. If you do know everything about her, you've already read better work.
