Tim is one of the girls; pour the coffee

Gunn's Golden Rules, by Tim Gunn. This was a rather juicy, gossipy, gap-fest by none other than the inimitable Tim Gunn. Each chapter is oneof the rules by which he leads his life, with lots of tidbits from Project Runway and various celebrities to illustrate those points. I mostly enjoyed this book, particularly the behind-the-scenes information about PR. But, at points, the book seemed to be stream-of-conscious writing that could have used better editing. Plus, as juicy as the gossip was, Tim seemed often to violate his own rule, "Take the High Road."

Nonetheless, kudos to Tim for speaking openly and honestly about his family, their drinking, his depression, his coming-to-terms with his homosexuality, and ultimately disclosing his asexuality. I believe it took a lot of courage to disclose so much, and for that, I respect him.
