Finished Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl. The first third or so is difficult to read, though I understand the importance of the information--context--to the rest of the narrative. This first part deals with Carrie's childhood, the requisite family drama that contributed at least in part to her later actions, attitudes, etc.
Once she gets into the music, her prose really flies, and it is a very engaging and interesting trip through the rest of the book.
Portlandia is mentioned exactly once, and that is in passing. This book is about Carrie Brownstein, the guitarist/singer/songwriter; the actress' story will have to wait until much later, I am sure.
So, already into Forbidden Knowledge, we'll see how fast that goes.
