Demetri Martin
You get really comfortable reading outdoors in California, and you can get burned. When you're done, it's like, Oh my God, I'm cooked — all I was doing was reading, and I got injured. I'm reading David Browne's Fire and Rain: The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, CSNY and the Lost Story of 1970, about what was going on with those artists and, more broadly, the culture of America at that time. If you weren't alive then, you think, Oh, this was on the charts with that? It's a fun read.
Martin's first book is This Is a Book
