"From rehab to the rat race that is Hollywood, Carrie Fisher oozes wit and charm. Even more than 20 years after it was written it still feels fresh and unique. "Postcards from the Edge" will make you laugh, cry and cringe, and then make you really happy you aren't living in LA."
"I had very high hopes for this book since I loved The Best Awful; however, I have to admit that I was really disappointed. The book feels dated and relies heavily on Carrie Fisher's wit to push the book along. While that's sometimes good, it's not enough. I wonder if this is the case where I would enjoy the movie more... I'm willing to give that a shot."
"One of my all-time favorite books...I read this as a newly sober person and cracked up all over the place. She has definitely been there, done that! A must read!!! (And much better than movie, tho that was good too)"
"Carrie Fisher is a trip, excuse the pun as it echoes of the first section of this novel, and I'm super glad that I've now read this and have experienced the easy, authentic, fiesty voice and the simultaneous criticality and sensitivity with which she, in and through her characters, sees and communicates the world.
two quotations that stood out to me in this series of postcards and snapshots of sorts...
regarding intimate relationships; something to consider:
"My route to intimacy is routine. I establish a patter with somebody, and then I notice when they're not there. Once you get this routine thing going, you have to take a lot of vacations, so there's a constant renewal or harking back. When you see them, it's like your favorite song that was number one that you almost got sick of. It's been off the radio for a while, and then you hear it one day and it's like, 'Oh, grrrrrrrrreat! How great to hear this again!' That's people for me." - Suzanne, 89.
tonight, my yoga teacher said HAPPINESS IS NOT A POSSESSION TO BE DESIRED OR PURSUED; IT IS A CHOICE; here's an extension of that idea...
"'Sometimes I'm afraid I'm happy, but because I expect it to be something else, I question the experience. So now, when in doubt,' she shrugged with true bravado, 'I'll assume I'm happy.'" -Suzanne, 137"
