Booking Through Thursday is a weekly meme, hosted by Callista83. This week, she poses the following question about celebrity memoirs:

Do you read celebrity memoirs? Which ones have you read or do you want to read? Which nonexistent celebrity memoirs would you like to see?

I read Couplehood by Paul Reiser, which I guess can be considered a memoir of sorts as he writes of many of his own experiences throughout his marriage. I did like the book, especially since it seemed so much like Mad About You, which was one of my favorite TV shows for a while. In general though, I think I tend to steer clear of celebrity memoirs. I get so tired of seeing their faces plastered everywhere I go. It seems as though I can't escape hearing about their lives, and I can't imagine actually seeking out more information about them. Also, the more I learn about a celebrity is seems the less I admire them. For example, I used to really enjoy Tom Cruise as an actor, but after seeing countless youtube videos of him on Oprah's couch I have a hard time watching him on film. I do want to read the Life of Charlotte Bronte by Elizabeth Gaskell, which is as close as I ever hope to come to the genre.

I don't read celebrity memoirs because there are really none that I care enough about to want to know what they do in their personal lives. I do like author memoirs.

Have a great holiday weekend!
I agree with you. It's just too much!
I too don't go in for celebrity memoirs!I I prefer real peoples!

Here is my BTT post!
I loved Mad About You. I've never read Couplehood partly because I was afraid the Paul I'd find would ruin Mad About You. Now I may have to read it.
Please forgive me for saying that I find most celebrity memoirs to be overrated, therefore I don't read them. Maybe something in the future will make me read one, make me change my mind. =/

No forgiveness needed! I think we all agree with you. ;)
I wanted to read the celebrity memories of Justin briber. As I really wanted to know something more amazing and facts about his life. Please do share about assignment writing service soon as I will wait for this.
