~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
Author James Frey's memoir, "A Million Little Pieces"
-- an Oprah Book Club pick -- evidently has quite a few
factual inconsistencies. Although key parts of the book,
including arrests, deaths, etc., remain unverified,
Frey admits only to having "embellished" his life story.
The Top 5 Excerpts From Embellished Memoirs
- "That's when my father looked me in the eye and said, 'Return Ye and walk again among Man, my second son. And speak of these things so that they will knoweth my will.'" -- Pat Robertson
- "As I ladled another bowl of nourishing soup for my less-fortunate brethren, I wondered, 'If only there were some way I could get enough money so all these noble, courageous people could live like kings.'" -- Ken Lay
- "The culmination of our wedding night was feeling her hymen yield to my gentle thrusts." -- Kevin Federline
- "My assignment was top secret and no one would know I even reported for my Air National Guard duty, much less that I was in 'Nam. I guided my fighter into an assault dive. That swift boat was in trouble and had to be protected!" -- George W. Bush
and the Number 1 Excerpt From Embellished Memoirs...
- "David was handsome, masculine, insatiable and completely obsessed with me to the point of forsaking all other women." -- Liza Minnelli
