Silver Screen Fiend: Learning About Life from an Addiction to Film by Patton Oswalt

4.0

Somehow Patton Oswalt managed to talk about almost every single one of my obsessions in such a way that, rather than feeling like he covered all of my bases, actually pushed me to want to do more than just think or talk about them. He makes me want to do EVERYTHING. And puts such an interesting perspective on it all, especially his Night Cafés. He also manages to talk about films in a film buff manner without making you feel talked down to, which was one of my concerns before I started reading. (And probably would have been the tone had I or almost anyone else written it). I have a strong feeling that if he ever does direct, that I will be a fan of it as well.
