Women's Lives into Print The Theory
This is okay if you like to read someone make out with Woody Allen for almost 400 pages.
You have to do your best all through the book not to give an overshadowing "dun dun dun" whenever he mentions Sun Yi and how Woody doesn't even actually live with Mia, and doesn't really like children around him.
Woody doesn't like a lot of things, actually, and Lax talks about them and gives excuses for all of them through out the book. But, he also gives some insight on how Woody rose to fame, which is also very interesting.
The thing that I really took away from this book is Allen's discussion of what makes something funny. He talks about how it's not the funny line that does it, but the straight line before the funny line. If the joke is set up correctly and the audience doesn't see it coming, then it's funnier. And that's so true.
