biography

My mother bought this book when it was fairly new. She was fascinated with art, celebrity and popular culture--which made this book a perfect fit for her. Often she had insomnia, but this book is so heavy she couldn't hold it to read in bed. Her solution? She razored it into sections, and read it in sections, She talked about it a lot when she was reading it. She was also a gestalt therapist, so I imagine the psychological implications may have interested her, also. After she was finished, she duct-taped (honest) the spine which sort of put the book back together, so it could be shelved. This duct-taped book graced one of her bookcases for the rest of her life, showing that books are really not that precious. I was shocked then, but now I sort of get it. June ( )

Not nearly as interesting as I hoped it would be. I got about 60 pages in and had to stop. The book's huge, which makes it impossible to carry around, and it's so long that it intimidates you from the second you bring it home. Put it on your coffee table and flip through it when you're bored. ( )

Not exactly a book that you read from cover to cover, but it is a fun coffee table book. "What was Andy Warhol doing this day 30-some years ago? LETS FIND OUT." It can be fun for that. ( )

I loved this book, and it is long. Bridget Jones and Andy would have hit it off. Very funny and entertaining. Yes he was weird but that's what makes him so interesting. You start to feel like Andy is a friend by the end of this book. ( )
