Anything to do with Jim Carrey, I’m in. In fact, when teachers would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I’d reply “Be Jim Carrey.” As a longtime fan, I was excited to learn that he would finally be charting his life in an autobiography.

Sean Penn plucking a cigarette from his own severed hand. This weird book captivated me.
From Daniel's list on the end of the world and being the last person on earth.
