Histoire
Take one look at Kevin Smith: He's a balding fatty who wears a size XXL hockey jersey, shorts, and slippers year-round. Not a likely source for life advice. But take a second look at Kevin Smith: He changed filmmaking forever when he was twenty-four with the release of Clerks, and since then has gone on to make nine more profitable movies, runs his own production company, wrote a best-selling graphic novel, and has a beautiful wife and kids. So he must be doing something right.

Seasoned music writer Dan Ozzi chronicles this embattled era in punk. Focusing on eleven prominent bands who made the jump from indie to major, Sellout charts the twists and turns of the last “gold rush” of the music industry, where some groups “sold out” and rose to surprise super stardom, while others buckled under mounting pressures. Sellout is both a gripping history of the music industry’s evolution, and a punk rock lover’s guide to the chaotic darlings of the post-grunge era.

Histoire
In this sweeping, deeply researched book, Paul Thomas Chamberlin boldly argues that the Cold War, long viewed as a mostly peaceful, if tense, diplomatic standoff between democracy and communism, was actually a part of a vast, deadly conflict that killed millions on battlegrounds across the postcolonial world. For half a century, as an uneasy peace hung over Europe, ferocious proxy wars raged in the Cold War’s killing fields, resulting in more than 14 million dead - victims who remain largely forgotten and all but lost to history.

It's Me Chelsea and Artie Lange's Too Fat to Fish, you'll love The Bedwetter.

Many scientists now believe that the climate shifts of the 21st century have analogs in these five extinctions.

Description
In celebration of The Simpsons 30th anniversary, the show’s longest-serving writer and producer offers a humorous look at the writing and making of the legendary Fox series that has become one of the most revered artistic achievements in television history.
Four-time Emmy winner Mike Reiss - who has worked on The Simpsons continuously since episode one in 1989 - shares stories, scandals, and gossip about working with America’s most iconic cartoon family ever. Reiss explains how the episodes are created and provides an inside look at the show’s writers, animators, actors, and celebrity guests. He answers a range of questions from Simpsons fans and die-hards and reminisces about the making of perennially favorite episodes.
In his freewheeling, irreverent comic style, Reiss reflects on his lifetime inside The Simpsons - a personal highlights reel of his achievements, observations, and favorite stories. Springfield Confidential exposes why Matt Groening decided to make all of the characters yellow; dishes on what it’s like to be crammed in a room full of funny writers 60 hours a week; and tells what Reiss learned after traveling to 71 countries where The Simpsons is watched (ironic note: there’s no electricity in many of these places); and even reveals where Springfield is located! He features unique interviews with Judd Apatow, who also provided the foreword, and Conan O'Brien, as well as with Simpsons legends Al Jean, Nancy Cartwright, Dan Castellaneta, and more.
Like Cary Elwes’ As You Wish, Jennifer Keishin Armstrong’s Seinfeldia, and Chris Smith’s The Daily Show: An Oral History, Springfield Confidential is a funny, informational, and exclusive look at one of the most beloved programs in all of television land.

One of the best books I ever read with my ears
I enjoyed the book so much I spent most of the book looking at the time because I was sad it would finish at some point or another. The other reviews I checked out while downloading the book were true; it does sound like the narrator is smiling the whole time!! If you're a Simpsons fan just pick it up, it's a no-brainer and you'll be glad you did.

Interesting and funny
Interesting book that really goes behind the scenes of The Simpsons and beyond. Lots of funny jokes, stories and even the content not related to the show itself was really intriguing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has enjoyed the Simpsons over the years — I also loved the fact that they covered The Critic in this book as well. It’s a series that should have never been canceled… twice!

8 Simple Reissons For Rating Mike's Audio book
1. He let's you know everything you could possibly need to about the Simpsons.
2. He tells you everything you could need to know about writing in showbiz.
3. He sounds like he's always smiling. A statement I once posted on the IMDb message boards.
4. Twists & Turns.
5. Sick burns.
6. There are some good ruminations about life and one's legacy and some touching memorials for Simpson's staff who are no longer with us.
7. Puzzles!
8. It's open all day and anyone can get in.

Great inside look into The Simpsons writer's room
Mike Reiss was part of what is now known as "the golden years" of The Simpsons. He takes us on an insider look of The Simpsons writer's room during that time and beyond. Reiss is very jovial and he sounds like he is smiling throughout this book, which I appreciated. I could have done without some of the political points later on in the book, but overall I enjoyed this very much and believe any Simpsons mega-fan will find some factoids they didn't know about before!
