Ed Zwick's new memoir seems to be entertaining just from reading the self-deprecating start. I just started reading it, there's verve and panache.

My notebooks on working fill an entire shelf in my office. On the inside cover of my first one—a black Moleskine, unlined—I wrote “creation is memory.” I think it was Kurosawa who said it, I certainly didn’t make it up, yet in retrospect it begins to explain what I was up to. I couldn’t possibly use what I was witnessing, yet I was desperate to preserve it all, believing that by storing it away it might someday give me a leg up as a filmmaker. I couldn’t have known that the value of these notes would only become clear years later, after a decade of scrambling, scheming, striving, and the repeated humiliation and abject mortification of knowing I was doing mediocre work. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Humiliation and mortification are subjects that will get more than their share of attention in the stories to come.
