All about da blog

After a lifetime of failed new year resolutions- from wanting to wake up on time to solving world hunger, I have decided to tweak my previous resolution. I shall read and blog about less than or equal to 50 books during the course of the year- with emphasis on the "less than"

Book 3: An object of Beauty - Steve Martin

I decided to read this book after seeing Steve Martin on The Colbert Nation. And maybe because I was curious about what sort of an author the actor/ comedian would make.


Well I know now- he is a pretty competent author. Maybe a bit more than just competent. I got the book home and finished in one sitting. It was a nice page turner and kept my interest throughout. Throughout the book are reproductions of works by great artist and an explanation of their claim to fame and a look into what makes them stand apart. What is interesting is the way this lesson is interwoven into the story of a go-getter Leacy Yeager.

An interesting book and a good read.
