Sen. Ted Cruz is writing a memoir; so is Flea; Jimmy Carter does Seattle; Bette Midler reads: book notes
April 2, 2014
Bette Midler‘s 1980 “A View From A Broad” has been reissued, and the singer tells The New York Daily News she loves to read the classics. “I read P.G. Wodehouse, E.S. Benson, Nancy Mitford. I read Mark Twain with all my heart I love Melville. This year I read ‘White Fang’ and ‘The Call of the Wild‘ and I have to tell you I cried. I hadn’t cried over a book in 40 years.”
