You know that book On Killing? Have you ever heard of that book? Yeah, Dave Grossman. He makes a distinction in that book, and I don't know how well it's held up under experimentation, but he said one of the big predictors of whether someone will have PTSD or not is do they think the kill that they were a part of was justified?

You know that book On Killing? Have you ever heard of that book? Yeah, Dave Grossman.

I don't like super long books.

Now when you wrote Last Black Unicorn also 17 you told your story.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, my favorite book.

It ties into this. It's about a boy and girl, they meet at a hospital. The boy is terminally ill? No, he got in a car accident. The girl is visiting her sister. They start playing video games and slowly open up to each other.

I read this book last year and I absolutely loved it and recommended it to everybody. Her book, which we're here to talk about, Cher, the memoir, part one, is a fucking actionpacked thrill ride.

Your story is told in this very unique, nonvictimy way that I love.

She's an actor, talk show host, she's directed, she's done everything... and her book, which we talk about in great detail, Worthy, which is really incredible.

I'm just glad that there's a book. So just in case somebody really wants to know what's going on. You got 406 pages you can read.

I didn't phone it in, it's a book. So I wanna say if you zoomed out for a second and I imagine this was a book from someone in the 20s and it's about this woman who grows up in Baltimore in this crazy situation...

I love it. It's the funniest, the back and forth is the best. I'd recommend it.

I really, really loved getting to know your story. It's pretty bonkers.

Get Jada's book. It's going to blow your mind. I've left out 99% of your story.

In the book, I got to say, I got to really applaud in a very, very AA way. You're brutal on yourself. You take your inventory in this book.

I wish we had talked about that... it wasn't in the book. But I read that part about her mom getting clean and relapsing.

David Copperfield in school required reading.

I love Copperfield.

This is a book that had always haunted me because I'd heard people I respect always cite it as the best book ever written and they're just obsessed with this book and that the thing that's great about Naked Lunch is you don't read it chronologically.

Maybe you don't agree, Junkie. Oh that is the most for me approachable. It's a great book by Burroughs, maybe you don't agree, Junkie. Oh that is the most for me approachable. It's a great book by Burroughs.

Her books are I Am Malala, We Are Displaced, Malala's Magic Pencil, and now her memoir, Finding My Way...
