Head Tale

Entertainment Weekly magazine is one of my guilty pleasures.  In fact, I had a subscription to it in the early 1990's right after it began publication.  And I was surprised to see that last week's issue marked its 1000th issue! 

I still read EW on a fairly regular basis but now it's visits to the local public library for a range of back issues (or when I'm in the area, the one local library branch that permits loans of the most recent issues of their magazines – how cool is that?)

A recent issue had an article about the memoir and included a list of every possible permutation of the genre – memoirs by geography, occupation, addiction, disease and even who had to die in the author's life to provoke the writing of the memoir, etc.
