The Book of the Week is “Leading With My Chin,” the autobiography of Jay Leno. This is an amusing book, although the part in which he explains the secret to his success, is rather simple.

Even if it meant sitting on curbs all day or sleeping on the back steps of comedy clubs all night.”

Bad Attitude
The Book of the Week is “Bad Attitude; The Processed World Anthology.” Edited by Chris Carlsson with Mark Leger, 1990. This is a compilation of the late 1970’s magazine, “Processed World,” about early office computers. It has many funny anecdotes, illustrations, comic strips and photos.
