Anything Goes

[dreamer_easy]

John Barrowman's autobiography Anything Goes, written with his sister Carole, is a great read - I got through it almost entirely in one sitting. Heaps of funny stories from childhood and from the theatre, as well as some more serious stuff, notably a chapter in memory of a mentally ill friend who didn't get the help she needed, which reminded me of how lucky I am to have the parents I do. The most mind-boggling chapter, though, was the one where John is hired ostensibly for a fashion shoot, only to be pampered aboard a luxury yacht and finally realise that he's there for ornamental purposes only. Life is stranger than fanfic.

That's two celebrity biogs I've read now. My standards are obviously slipping - better get back to finishing off My Life by Giacomo Casanova.
