Brief Encounters: Conversations, Magic Moments, and Assorted Hijinks by Dick Cavett

3.0

If you are a Dick Cavett fan, you will certainly enjoy this read. It is a series of columns he wrote for the NY Times. While I did enjoy it, I had hoped it would have more of a behind the scenes feel to it. He has spoken and written many times of the many people he looked up to or idolized and was lucky enough to meet. While there were a few of those kind of stories in the book, I had hoped for more. It is entertaining and a little snarky at times, but reads fairly quickly. As it was a collection of published columns, the stories you didn't enjoy were over quickly, but the ones you did enjoy were unfortunately over quickly as well.
