"You're Only as Good as Your Next One"

You're Only as Good as Your Next One: 100 Great Films, 100 Good Films, and 100 for Which I Should Be Shot (Mike Medavoy)

A pretty interesting look at Hollywood from the agent's and producer's side (Medavoy being an agent and then a producer). If you're hoping for juicy Hollywood gossip or dirt, this is a book to skip; Medavoy sticks to his own career and the changing nature of the movie buisness. I learned a lot, and I was entertained the whole time. There's better (and meaner) books about Hollywood out there, but this is worth picking up if you see at the used bookstore.
One caveat is that I'd advise keeping your bullshit detector on high alert; Medavoy claims that "The 6th Day" is a very intelligent movie, which I guess reasonable people can disagree about, but when he ventures into taking credit for the Adams Family movie because it spawned a trend of successes like the Beverly Hillbillies movie, well, that's the kind of thing I wouldn't want to unquestionably read and then start repeating in public.
