James Frey

The Oprah interview with James Frey is going to be repeated on Monday, January 2nd. It's definitely worth watching!

Thanks Anna, I just finished reading his book and was disappointed that I had missed the interview.

Thank you for that, Anna. I finished A Million Little Pieces a couple of weeks ago and lent it out. The people I have lent it to have lent it to others. I picked up a second copy yesterday, because hopefully, the first copy will be kept by someone else who found this book as powerful as I did.

Why? He's going to say the same thing he said last time! Everybody has their own shtick.

Thanks Anna, If it weren't for me seeing Oprah go on and on and on about this little book, then me buying it and reading what Mr. Frey had to say, I really believe I wouldn't be here right now. To me the man is a lifesaver. Too bad he doesn't have a single little brother tucked away someplace. lol

This book inspired me so much! I related to so much of what he had to say and how he thinks about recovery and addictions.

For someone who has been having a hard time understanding alot of what has been written about recovery and how it is supposed to be helpful to me, this book gave me hope that I have a chance to stay sober too!!

This book is def on my read again and again list!! (Seriously, my floor is going to fall out of my apartment if I collect any more books!!!!)

I'd ask if you would mind loaning it out, but it sounds like one of those I would definitely like to add to my permanent collection.

Most of mine are in the basement (not because they fell through the floor though... lol).



Anna: Thanks for the heads up on the show.... I missed it the 1st time around!

Geez Music, of course he's going to say the same thing he said the last time - it's a rerun! But, it IS definitely worth watching. The man is inspirational and we can all use a little inspiration now and then!

I could watch stuff like that over and over and get a new piece to add to my brain every time.

Did I say I got the Oprah Collection on DVD for Xmas. lol, what can i say.
I'm into self improvement. Maybe obsessed. lol

Thanks for letting us know. I missed part of it last time so it will be nice to hear the whole interview.

I'm actually going to Barnes & Noble today to buy "A Million Little Pieces".
