"I Promised My Dad—An Intimate Portrait of Michael Landon"

I Promised My Dad—An Intimate Portrait of Michael Landon by His Eldest Daughter, Cheryl Landon Wilson with Jane Scovell is about the life of Michael Landon.  I was impressed by how much his daughter knew about his childhood.  By reading this book, I learned many things about Michael Landon that I never knew.  Since I watched him as “Little Joe” in Bonanza and then as Charles Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie, I was eager to learn about him as a person.  This book answers the question, What was Michael Landon really like?  It has a lot of interesting things in it but I especially liked his reason for letting his hair grow long—it gave him more confidence and made him feel like he could do anything, like Samson who had great strength when his hair was long.  He was a loving man with a great sense of humor.

"This Time Together--Laughter and Reflection" by Carol Burnett

This Time Together—Laughter and Reflection by Carol Burnett is a collection of short essays about funny things that happened in her life.  She shares humorous stories about her career and various celebrities.  By reading this book, I discovered a depth to Carol Burnett that I hadn’t known before.  She is really a nice person, not just funny.  I used to enjoy watching The Carol Burnett Show and fondly remember the sketches with Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Vicky Lawrence that made me laugh.  That’s why I chose to read this book and am glad I did!
