It’s pretty rainy at home in Ajax, today. So, what better way to spend time than with a mug of peppermint tea and a handful of Steve Martin books. Mr. Martin is one of my favourite authors – actually, one of the only authors I truly enjoy.

Below you will see my collection of books, ranging from his autobiography, screenplays, the famous Shopgirl novella and Cruel Shoes – one of my go-to funny books … something I would love him to sign one day. I found it in a used bookstore many years ago and my Dad bought it for me for about $20. Now, it retails on Amazon for almost $200 new.

You’ll also see his newest release, The Ten, Make That Nine, Habits of Very Organized People. Make That Ten. It’s a very tiny book, that had me digging through what seemed like giant books just to find it! But it’s cute … and contains the tweets and tweet conversations of Steve Martin. A quick and quite fun dialogue to read.
