Timmy's in the Well

I love to read books. Sometimes I read two at a time. My husband loves to read, and my kids do, too. Even my cats love to read the newspaper.

I realize I can write a little bit about what I read.

I just finished reading Jon Provost's book, Timmy's in the Well. Jon played in Lassie as Timmy from when he was 7 to 14 years old, from 1958 to 1965. He now lives in Sonoma County.

I originally heard part of an interview with Jon on the David Glass show on KSRO, the local talk radio station. I wanted to read the book right away. I finally checked his book out of the library. It was a good story. It had a lot of quotes from his friends, family and other child stars. I got confused on who was who, sometimes, since I can never remember actor's names and who they played. I have a short memory. I would have liked a reference list that would list the name, and the relation that Jon had with the person. Maybe that's something I can do.

I have been reading a lot of autobiographies lately. The one I read before this one, and I really enjoyed it, was Me and a Guy Named Elvis. It was by one of the guys from Memphis who was friends with Elvis throughout his career. Another fascinating story.

Another fav: Ernest and Julio Gallo wrote an autobiography together. One chapter by Ernest, the next by Julio. They were almost 100% done with the book when Julio died, so his death is included in the end of the book.

Maybe one of these days, I'll write more about my impressions of the books I read, but that is all for today.
