Talking as Fast as I can
by Lauren Graham
by Lauren Graham
And here a little summary from goodreads:
*
"In this collection of personal essays, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood reveals stories about life, love, and working as a woman in Hollywood—along with behind-the-scenes dispatches from the set of the new Gilmore Girls, where she plays the fast-talking Lorelai Gilmore once again.
In Talking as Fast as I Can, Lauren Graham hits pause for a moment and looks back on her life, sharing laugh-out-loud stories about growing up, starting out as an actress, and, years later, sitting in her trailer on the Parenthood set and asking herself, “Did you, um, make it?” She opens up about the challenges of being single in Hollywood (“Strangers were worried about me; that’s how long I was single!”), the time she was asked to audition her butt for a role, and her experience being a judge on Project Runway (“It’s like I had a fashion-induced blackout”).
In “What It Was Like, Part One,” Graham sits down for an epic Gilmore Girls marathon and reflects on being cast as the fast-talking Lorelai Gilmore. The essay “What It Was Like, Part Two” reveals how it felt to pick up the role again nine years later, and what doing so has meant to her.
Some more things you will learn about Lauren: She once tried to go vegan just to bond with Ellen DeGeneres, she’s aware that meeting guys at awards shows has its pitfalls (“If you’re meeting someone for the first time after three hours of hair, makeup, and styling, you’ve already set the bar too high”), and she’s a card-carrying REI shopper (“My bungee cords now earn points!”).
Including photos and excerpts from the diary Graham kept during the filming of the recent Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, this book is like a cozy night in, catching up with your best friend, laughing and swapping stories, and—of course—talking as fast as you can."

I´ll give it a 10 out of 10
I knew I would love this book from the moment on I discovered it exsisted...I mean of cause you never know it until you read it...technically...but I was so mega excited about it and now I really really really want to read all the other book Lauren Graham wrote ;)
Why I knew I would love it so much so early...weeeell you know two words...Gilmore Girls.
For so far the bigger part of my life I´ve been the biggest Gilmore Girls fan...just eeeverything about this show, its characters, plot lines, its whole style was everything for my. The tow Gilmore Girls where on and off both...alternating...some of my biggest and pretty much only role models in life so far. Why do you think I got into reading so much ;)
Now reading a book about and by a Gilmore Girl is just a logical result for me, isn´t it and loving it makes just as much sense ^^
I love just everything about it, its style , the language, the way how you kind of read it with Lauren Grahams voice in your head..do you know what I mean? ;) I kind of grew up and into being a teenage with this show, my second home kind of and definitely a place I´d life in without asking any questions or any hesitation! After reading this from first to last page in under two days I think you could say I liked it and highly highly recommend it =D
