Summary: Alice in Wonderland is a better FICTIONAL book !!!
Comment: I can not believe this. I am glad I found this book at a cheap second-hand book store ... I would have had to heave if I had paid full price.
This would be funny if it were not for the horrid nightmarish communist atrocities that these writers' supported. Communists (people ... listen) are worse than the nazis!!! The commies butchered 10 million innocent people (on record ... and that's only the former USSR alone!). These "blacklisted" people are #1 traitors to the USA (The Am. Comm. Party promotes VIOLENT OVERTHROW OF THE EXISTING GOVERNMENT) AND #2 Real Communists - heck, read the transcripts yourself !!!!!!!!!! People, you can not be that naive! Someone told me once, if the nazis won the war and the USSR communists lost (you know, role reversal), that these same "blacklisted" people would be nazis and McCarthy would have been found out to be Jewish and probably hung. And, reviewers would be hailing the courageous "BLACKLISTED" American nazi party members. Because at this point, like it is now, TRUTH IS RELATIVE!
What can I say???? This is a blatant slap in the face at the truth. Look at his sources ... I mean ...come on!!! The authors are dedicated and determined to stick the knife in the gut of the truth (and they do not mind all the blood ... because he is sticking it in deep).
Heck, there are so many documents and books that prove this book is, at most, only be used as a stabilizer for an uneven table. But I just used the pages for the bottom of my bird cage .... heck, no one will notice the crap on crap ... will they???
People Listen!!! These same people blacklisted just changed their names and went on. The real backlist contained those people who testified AGAINST THEM. They were out of their jobs (ain't hollywood great). One more interesting deal to look into. These poor American Commies that were supposedly blacklisted? Look where they are now (there is this book, written by a liberal, about 8 on the blacklist - I can not recall the name), they are behind the most perverse and commie-leaning movies and tv shows ever made in the USA!!!
Now it has always been my opinion that the Hollywood communists were more Lenin leaning than, say, the American political communists. AND, one main point of the Leninists is to tear-down the morals of the society . De-root them at all costs AND HE STRESSED FAMILY AND RELIGION to be the main focus. This makes the people easy prey and a DEPENDANT, SHEEPISH group of slaves but willing people ready for indoctrination by a strong centralized government. The evil Lenin was actually pretty smart ... for a communist. Most of the others are highly over-rated. Like Marx, he stole almost everything he wrote (mostly from philosophers - ancient and modern); he was really ignorant and Engels was just a rich spoiled brat supporting him (the bum-hero Marx). It's a joke that it lasted as long as it did. Well ... not a joke because millions of innocent people died. They are as bad as the nazis ... but you will never hear it from these blacklisted people contained in this book ... their blinded by their loyalty to "the cause".
Actually, this book makes me mad. They were communists and they did harm patriots who turned them in.

Summary: Spoken Softly, Hard Hitting
Comment: Less an autobiography and more a series of reflections, philosophies, and anecdotes, I'd Hate Myself In The Morning is a slender but superb work by one of the most underrated writers America has ever produced. I say underrated because he was not only competing with the legacy of his famous father, but also because of his experiences with the blacklist and his subsequent emergence from that period, all of which Lardner discusses with a candor that is very engaging, honest, and thought-provoking. In noting that he passed away shortly after the book was published, it casts a very eerie, but not creepy, shadow over the last chapter in which he discusses his views on mortality and death. A very quick read and well worth it.

Summary: Ring Lardner's fascinating memoirs of his Hollywood career
Comment: Like most people I first came to know the work of Ring Lardner, Jr. through his Oscar writing screenplays for 1942's "Woman of the Year," the film that introduced Spenser Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, and for 1970's "M*A*S*H." It was only later that I learned Lardner was much more than a writer, since his greatest moment of personal triumph and tragedy was his refusal to name names to the House Un-American Activities Committee during the Red Scare. Larder served a one-year sentence for his act and this memoir details his entire career in Hollywood. These are the tales of someone who lived in and outside of the studio system and given what happened to him with the blacklist it is rather surprising to find Lardner telling his story without rancor or self-justification, let alone all the other emotions to which he was certainly entitled. Even without taking into account his personal Golgotha, "I'd Hate Myself in the Morning" is one of the best looks at the machinations of Hollywood during the decline and fall of the studio system you are going to find. This work is essentially a posthumous effort, which only underscores the ultimate irony that once again, circumstances have prevented the world from recognizing the worth of the man.
