Is there a word for autobiographies that make you like the author less after reading them? Bossypants may qualify...

...but only slightly. I would say I like Tina Fey only maybe 2-3% less than I did before.

This is not bad compared to George Carlin (down by around 15%) or Sarah Silverman (down by at least 50%).

Positives: Adam Carolla, Steve Martin and Bill Cosby. I'm sure I will only like Mark Twain all the more once I finally finish that behemoth.

I'm wondering how it's possible to like Sarah Silverman less. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 14:16 2
