Jerry Seinfeld, Mel Brooks and Jay Leno are just some of the renowned comedians who have praised the new book from Carl Reiner, titled, I Remember Me. Now 90 years old, Reiner’s work as a comedian, actor, director, TV writer and author has garnered numerous accolades, including twelve Emmy wins and one Grammy award. With such a resume, certainly Mr. Reiner could have a secured a traditional publishing contract, but because of the speed to market advantages of self publishing and desire to make sure his story got told his way, he self-published his new book with AuthorHouse.
In this book, Reiner shares ninety years of love and laughter, highs and lows, mistakes and triumphs. Told with a warm heart and an occasional touch of nostalgia, he draws from decades of family, friends and fun to illuminate his life and career as one of America’s most loved and memorable figures. Stories range from hilarious to touching. For example, there’s a chapter dedicated to Rinnie the dog who unfortunately mistakes a skunk for a cat and a heart wrenching recollection describing the day of his wife’s passing, plus much more. It may sound cliche, but at times you will laugh. At times, you will tear up.
If you have a gift card, or e-reader, spend some time with I Remember Me. It will brighten your holiday.
