In Pieces by Sally Field. An autobio. I opened the book to look at photos and start reading in the middle. Field was writing about her time in 1973 which was post-Flying Nun and pre-stardom when she was waiting for a good role, taking classes, and earning money on a couple game shows.
Fiction
French Exit by Patrick DeWitt. Comedic novel of the formerly rich and famous heading to Paris and going further downhill. I think. I did not pay too much attention to the plot description.
