Book Reading.......

Book No. 10 is put away.
I read Dean and Me (A Love Story) by Jerry Lewis and James Kaplan.
It is the autobiographical story of how Jerry Lewis met, partnered up with, and broke up with Dean Martin.
They met by chance on a New York City street, worked together for 10 years, and had a very bitter break up. Close to two decades later, they were brought back together again by Frank Sinatra live on the air while Jerry was hosting the MDA telethon in 1976.
