Alan Alda - Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself Review

Alda has a charming delivery, sounding enthusiastic and instructive. The book mostly concerns talks he's given at various events, from graduations to grand rounds. It's not a recitation of what he said so much as an explanation of how he came to decide what to talk about.

His interests are varied, which has led him to speak at many different kinds of venues. He's known lots of different people, and speaks fondly and warmly about them.

The book was enjoyable. Alda conveys his enthusiasm for many subjects without being heavy-handed. He shares joys and sadness. His dedication to his family is obvious.

Recommended.
