39 - Moab is My Washpot by Stephen Fry
I was predisposed to like this book, because I love Stephen Fry and his style of humor. (See A Bit of Fry and Laurie). In his autobiography, Fry tells stories of growing up in boarding schools in England; explains his own viewpoint on things like homosexuality, the public school system in England, and corporal punishment for children; and sometimes references his future success as an actor.Fry loops around from one subject to another - going into a 5+ page rant about topics such as his lack of musical talent and how that has affected his life in a charming, self-deprecating way. The book does not have much of a forward trajectory in parts, skipping from anecdote to opinion and back; but the writing is always enjoyable and witty, and often insightful.
