Guess who's "writing" a memoir? (July 29 edition)




From Publisher's Marketplace:

Star of the MTV reality stunt shows, Jackass, Wildboyz, and the upcoming film Jackass 3-D, Steven "Steve-O" Glover's PLAYING DUMB, detailing his single-minded quest to become a professional idiot, his addiction to fame and drugs and his subsequent recovery.

*Also noted that this is a MAJOR deal.

Contrast that with this deal (reported on the same day):



Humaira Shahid's DEVOTION AND DEFIANCE: One Woman's Crusade for Justice in Pakistan, an inspiring memoir of her ten-year battle as a Muslim journalist and legislator to win unprecedented reforms protecting women from violence in the name of family honor, often at risk to her own safety, within a government ruled by corrupt politicians and tribal leaders.

Which would YOU rather read?
