Yes I listened to a clip of it on iTunes.... it made me want to hear it all really bad... it would be awesome to hear her read stuff and possibly hear her own sarcasm and stuff that she put into writing it...

yes good idea!
oh I was thinking, what is everyone's fav part of either book? I haven't read ANWA so I guess those would be poems, but my fav part in CDTD is when she is sitting outside that lobby in the airport or whatever and that guy (Mr. Viagra) is bragging to all the other guys and he comes out and she tells him "Well, I guess necessity is the mother of all inventions" I thought it was funny as hell and it reminds me of God's Gift to Women.. Either that part or when theose people keep following her for autographs and she is saying how if she signs every autograph for everyone will it make everything better or when is it too much and the guy is yelling this is the price you pay for fame jewel

I don't know what my fav part of the book (either one) is yet, I'm still in progress of reading! But so far, I'm very impressed and just amazed by Jewel's life. What a ride she's been on so far!!
I noticed something that I think is probably inaccurate information. If you look on the back cover of ANWA where it gives a synopsis of the book, it clearly says that "Jewel Kilcher was born and raised in Alaska". Yes she was RAISED in Alaska, but I could've sworn she was actually born in Payson, Utah. Am I right?? And why would they put something like this that clearly is incorrect?? Did they not proof-read??
