"Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them." – Albert Einstein

Okay, it’s my turn to lie.  I had about a third of the book to finish, and I meant to do it last night (hey, it wasn’t unreasonable, I read almost inhumanly fast), but the ADD took over last night and I got involved in a weaving project that kept me up until after midnight.  Loom setup always takes me longer than I think it will.  Considering my schedule, I will probably be finishing the rest this weekend, and will post the review on Monday.  That will solve my perpetual Monday problem.  Two birds, one stone and all that jazz.

But, in the meantime, I introduce to you the new selection for October, based on the last-minute rearrangements of the Steering Committee:

 Star: A novel

 

From the Publisher

Pamela Anderson’s life is the stuff of fairy-tales and centerfolds. A champagne blonde who was discovered by a beer company, she moved from model to playmate, from actress to star . . . all in the blink of an eye. And this is her story. A delicious roman-à-clef, Star is an energetic blend of fact and fiction that is sure to get people talking. What’s true and what’s not? Is the neru-jacketed publisher of Man Magazine (Marsten Man–“MM” to his friends) a real bold-faced name or a construct of fiction? Is that what really goes on in “The Castle?” Could there really be a bulimic personal trainer or a panty-stealing manager? What about the child star? And the prize fighter who gets the trophy wife?Star is a breathless romp through truth and tabloid. An insider’s look at the world of inflated egos and inflated bodies, this book goes well beyond the clichéd air-kisses and casting couch of Hollywood to show what really happens when A-list meets D-cup, when girl becomes goddess.

This isn’t chick lit so much as it is lit by the ultimate chick, a woman whose career has spanned TV, film, print-and even animation. Not a week goes by without Pamela Anderson appearing in some tabloid. Not a month goes by without her gracing the cover of some glossy magazine. Pamela Anderson gets 5,000 fan letters a month; her every move is captured by paparazzi. A record number of Playboy covers, she is the woman whom Vanity Fair calls “O great blonde babe goddess!” And now she’s telling all. . . or is she?
 

So, my first question is – is that Pam herself on the cover?

 Enjoy the breather.
