The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made by Greg Sestero, Tom Bissell

---

This was a good read. :) The Room defined my sense of humor as a teenager, but I didn’t get around to reading The Disaster Artist until now. I can’t say the book particularly stuck to my bones, but as someone who also enjoys creative endeavors it makes me think about the meaning of art on a fundemental level. Tommy thought he was making a masterpiece and put so much into the movie, but viewers and even his cast and crew had a very different reaction to it, to put it mildly. There is something to be said for being so earnest, regardless of the outcome. It was nice that Greg admired this about him, too.
