Books I read in May 2012

In Just One More Thing, actor  Peter Falk relates stories from his life. Short on the details that make up a biography, this volume is mostly recollections of his roles and co-stars, such as John Cassavetes and Alan Arkin. Falk, who has a master's degree in public administration, was a washout as a public servant, but snagged roles on the stage, in film, and on television as the rumpled Lt. Columbo. He was also a talented artist, and some of his work is included. A quick, interesting read about an unconventional man.
