An old friend checks in

Carol Burnett's This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection is a funny and moving memoir that's sure to please fans. More a collection of anecdotes than an official follow-up picking up where her first autobiography (One More Time) left off, there's still enough autobiographical "glue" to make the book feel satisfyingly like volume two of her story. Anyway, as they say in the notices, you'll laugh (a lot), you'll cry, you won't be sorry you came along. I listened to the unabridged audio version, wonderfully read by Ms. Burnett herself, but I'm sure the regular book would be just as satisfying.

This Time together is available on Kindle (or the Kindle app on your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Blackberry, home computer, etc., etc.) for $9.99.
