2. some people's lives ARE interesting
I'd love to read Clinton's "My Life"... and have no desire to read the new OJ Simpson book.

11. SOME people's lives are interesting
But there's a ridiculous glut of memoirs on the market IMO. For every Helen Keller and Nelson Mandela and Bill Clinton there's a hundred Paris Hiltons, etc.

10. Au contraire!
Perhaps I'm using memoir-publication as a defense of public masturbation.

5. What I dislike is the "An Open Letter to..."
especially when the supposed recipient is someone like the president of the United States. It's so smug.
