I've been trying to do more reading. More importantly, trying to read deeply and critically. Books hold information. Books teach us things. Books are meant to be shared, discussed, debated. In 2018 I decided to share and write about the books I'm reading...

The Answer Is...

8/17/2020

 
Picture
It was hard not to grab Alex Trebek's memoir The Answer Is... - ​at the very least I was interested in some behind the scenes look at Jeopardy! I was pleasantly surprised, by the end of the book I felt like I knew Alex and wanted to give him a big hug. He came across so endearing, just a good guy. He didn't "tell all" and he didn't write in beautiful prose, but he warned everyone in the intro that he wasn't going to do either. What came after were some interesting stories and insights, some behind the scenes about the game show industry and Jeopardy! and a closer look at the personality and life of Alex Trebek, a beloved TV personality who (unfortunately) we will see leave us soon. If you've ever enjoyed catching Jeopardy! from time to time, this is worth the read.
