Rendition As Books Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls (and Everything in Between)
In this collection of personal essays, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood reveals stories about life, love, and working as a woman in Hollywood—along with behind-the-scenes dispatches from the set of the new Gilmore Girls, where she plays the fast-talking Lorelai Gilmore once again. In Talking as Fast as I Can, Lauren Graham hits pause for a moment and looks back on her life, sharing laugh-out-loud stories about growing up, starting out as an actress, and, years later, sitting in her trailer on the Parenthood set and asking herself, “Did you, um, make it?” She opens up about the challenges of being single in Hollywood (“Strangers were worried about me; that’s how long I was single!”), the time she was asked to audition her butt for a role, and her experience being a judge on Project Runway (“It’s like I had a fashion-induced blackout”). In “What It Was Like, Part One,” Graham sits down for an epic Gilmore Girls marathon and reflects on being cast as the fast-talking Lorelai Gilmore. The essay “What It Was Like, Part Two” reveals how it felt to pick up the role again nine years later, and what doing so has meant to her. Some more things you will learn about Lauren: She once tried to go vegan just to bond with Ellen DeGeneres, she’s aware that meeting guys at awards shows has its pitfalls (“If you’re meeting someone for the first time after three hours of hair, makeup, and styling, you’ve already set the bar too high”), and she’s a card-carrying REI shopper (“My bungee cords now earn points!”). Including photos and excerpts from the diary Graham kept during the filming of the recent Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, this book is like a cozy night in, catching up with your best friend, laughing and swapping stories, and—of course—talking as fast as you can.Rating Epithetical Books Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls (and Everything in Between)

I couldn't wait to get this audio!! *sniff, sniff, wail*Recently I made what may have been a questionable parenting decision and starting watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix with my daughter. I was surprised to find it is not only a fabulous (and in our case, somewhat addictive) show with quirky characters and smart dialogue, but it opens many doors for age-appropriate conversations with my daughter about school, relationships of all kinds, community, etc. I love Lauren Graham in both GilmoreI'm a pretty solid fan of Gilmore Girls, but have previously felt disappointed in realizing that neither Lauren Graham nor Alexis Bledel are the characters they play in that show. Not quite as intelligent, and definitely not as well-read. I know, Gilmore Girls is a rapid-talking idealized landscape, but one I think I prefer to escape to without the grounding in reality.So I was uncertain as to whether I would want to listen to this memoir, but having just watched the four "Year in the Life"
Lauren Graham narrating the audiobook was every bit of the awesomeness that I'd hoped for and expected.

I told myself I would hold off on reading this until I finished Gilmore Girls, but I gave up on season 7 because I just stopped caring about the characters and the plot, so I didn't mind going into this and getting spoiled. Even so, very little of it actually focused on spoilers on the show, but it offered a cool enough glimpse into Lauren's life that I'm glad I picked it up. I'm not her biggest fan ever, and I haven't even seen Parenthood, so I just liked hearing about her backstory and her
Written in response to the release of A Year in the Life on Netflix, Talking as Fast as I Can is a lively actors memoir. Lauren Graham moves at a fast pace as she discusses a wide range of topics, from her unconventional upbringing to her writing career. The sections about her experience as an actor on Gilmore Girls and Parenthood arent as extensive as expected; in the case of the former show, she only offers notes on rewatching the series after having finished the revival, a move that feels
My one-sentence summary: Lauren Grahams personality shines through a lot here, and thats delightful, but she doesnt really explore much of anything with any real depth, and thats disappointing. I came to Gilmore Girls late, even though Im in the exact age bracket to have grown up with it. My parents didnt have cable so I couldnt watch the WB and by the time I got to college, where many of my friends loved the show, I found it a little off-putting. Part of that was because it wasnt really a show
4.5/5 stars. This was really good! Lauren Graham writes about her life on a funny (at times maybe a bit too funny) note and I loved it. Being a fan of Gilmore Girls, it was amazing to get a backstage view on what it was like doing that show, but it was equally as enthralling to read about Laurens childhood, young adulthood and about her journey to become an actress. The last bonus chapter in this edition I read added something special, and the very last page almost teared me up - Lauren wraps
