A friend and I swap books because we both enjoy memoirs and biographies, particularly those dealing with the entertainment industries. Our friend lives in Virginia so when we visit two or three times a year, I take a few books to him then I excitedly climb to his upstairs study, muse over the titles carefully and happily pull out books to carry home. It’s much like visiting a library. So much fun. On our last visit, I spotted an autobiography by country comedienne, Minnie Pearl.
