Wow. 15 years ago I gave Amy's book to my brother and sister-in-law. They never read it. Two years later I picked it up... and was spellbound. I may have been the only 22 year old at the time to read TTG cover to cover. Great book that had a great impact on my life.

I'd love to see that episode of Donahue that she did in the 90's. I remember watching it when it first aired and thinking some of her ideas were kooky, but some of the really creative ones elicited groans from the audience.
