It’s beautiful, funny and very subversive. I really love it.” Meanwhile, Chris Cornell’s favorite is Modern Times by Bob Dylan “I think it’s fantastic.

Patricia Heaton got emotional when she read The Tiny One by Eliza Minot – “It’s about a girl who loses her mother, and she chronicles the whole day before she finds out her mother died. She’s exactly the age I was when my mother died. I’d read a few pages and then start sobbing.”
