About this item

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and the New York Times bestselling author of Talking as Fast as I Can comes an “insightful, honest, funny, and moving collection of captivating stories” (BuzzFeed).

“Graham is fast and furiously funny. . . . Where Graham leads, we will definitely follow.”—E! Online

Lauren Graham has graced countless television screens with her quick-witted characters and hilarious talk show appearances, earning a reputation as a pop culture icon who always has something to say. In her latest book, Have I Told You This Already?, Graham combines her signature sense of humor with down-to-earth storytelling. Graham shares personal stories about her life and career—from her early days spent pounding the pavement while waitressing in New York City, to living on her aunt’s couch during her first Los Angeles pilot season, to thoughts on aging gracefully in Hollywood.

In “R.I.P. Barneys New York” Graham writes about an early job as a salesperson at the legendary department store (and the time she inadvertently shoplifted from it); in “Ryan Gosling Cannot Confirm,” she attempts to navigate the unspoken rules of Hollywood hierarchies; in “Boobs of the ’90s” she worries her bras haven’t kept up with the times; and in “Actor-y Factory” she recounts what a day in the life of an actor looks like (unless you’re Brad Pitt).

Filled with surprising anecdotes, sage advice, and laugh-out-loud observations, these all-new, original essays showcase the winning charm and wry humor that have delighted Graham’s millions of fans.

As a Gilmore Girls lover, I was excited to see this book. Lauren Graham’s stories are quick and witty which reminded me so much of the show. Each chapter is a different story from Lauren’s life, from acting to friends to even a pet dog. It is a fun, easy read that is definitely worth the buy.

I loved Lauren Graham's previous books. And I am a huge Gilmore Girl's fan. But this book just seemed liked rambling. It was like she was writing it just for the sake of writing. It had moments where it was interesting but most of the time I had no idea what she was talking about so I found myself daydreaming. She tries too hard to be funny but I was left thinking "huh"? "What"? There was no point to the book.

Another book that I could not stop reading. Arrived on a Tuesday, done reading it on Wednesday. It is so easy and up-lifting, witty and interesting. A collection of stories that pull smiles as you read. You indirectly get to know a bit more about the author, you so directly get to know the inside world of actors in Hollywood, and their journey. Highly recommend it.

This was very nice. It did have some repetition from some of her other books, but you do get some new stories. It's just a cozy slice of life book.

Lauren always feels like a memory of home. I’ve been watching her on television since I was a young girl from Gilmore Girls to Parenthood and every film in between. Her latest installment really makes it feel like you’re catching up with an old friend and learning something new that she never got around to telling you until now. Her writing style is warm and inviting and reminds you that we all have a retail job in common or a retreat we looked into that would make life feel better for a moment. Although, I will never know what it’s like to make a designer store list or go to Diane Keaton’s birthday party I will at least have Lauren to share what that’s like. Worth the buy!
