"I'm reading a book called Tinkers," Tom Everett Scott says, referencing Paul Harding's 2008 book about an old man who relives a lifetime of memories in his final moments. "It's good. It's little, but it's dense. It's really good."
Jackie has taken the nonfiction route lately, saying, "I recently read a book that I loved called I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying," she says. When I promise to add it to my own reading list, she adds, "Yeah, do it, do it! By Youngmi Mayer. It's really good."
The memoir explores family and cultural relationships, as well as the daily balance between humor and grief.
