The Help and Rob Lowe

In the past 8 days I have read TWO books very unlike me... I just started and couldn't stop.

I read "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett and "Stories I only tell my friends" by Rob Lowe.   Two VERY different books, but I REALLY liked them BOTH.  The Help is just a really great book and as for Rob Lowe's book... well... I think the towel scene in the movie The Outsiders sparked the beginning of a crush that still lingers on in a "he's a movie star" kind of way... Damn, that man ages well.  There is a picture of him and his surf board in the back of the book that would make you say to yourself, "Is he really in his mid-late 40's?"  Maybe his sobriety stopped the aging process? who knows, but whatever it is it is working for him.
