Publisher's summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and the New York Times bestselling author of Talking as Fast as I Can comes an “insightful, honest, funny, and moving collection of captivating stories” (BuzzFeed).

“Graham is fast and furiously funny. . . . Where Graham leads, we will definitely follow.”—E! Online

Lauren Graham has graced countless television screens with her quick-witted characters and hilarious talk show appearances, earning a reputation as a pop culture icon who always has something to say. In her latest book, Have I Told You This Already?, Graham combines her signature sense of humor with down-to-earth storytelling. Graham shares personal stories about her life and career—from her early days spent pounding the pavement while waitressing in New York City, to living on her aunt’s couch during her first Los Angeles pilot season, to thoughts on aging gracefully in Hollywood.

In “R.I.P. Barneys New York” Graham writes about an early job as a salesperson at the legendary department store (and the time she inadvertently shoplifted from it); in “Ryan Gosling Cannot Confirm,” she attempts to navigate the unspoken rules of Hollywood hierarchies; in “Boobs of the ’90s” she worries her bras haven’t kept up with the times; and in “Actor-y Factory” she recounts what a day in the life of an actor looks like (unless you’re Brad Pitt).

Filled with surprising anecdotes, sage advice, and laugh-out-loud observations, these all-new, original essays showcase the winning charm and wry humor that have delighted Graham’s millions of fans.

Critic reviews

“Lauren Graham’s fourth delicious book of musings is fast, furious, smart, and ridiculously funny. Apparently she’s not just our modern-day answer to Carole Lombard, but she has a generous dose of Dorothy Parker thrown in for good measure. It’s not particularly fair, actually. But then again, life never is.”—Amy Sherman-Palladino, creator of Gilmore Girls, Bunheads, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

“As funny and warm and charming as Lauren herself.”—Jenny Han, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before series and The Summer I Turned Pretty series

“With her signature humor, tenderness and warmth, Lauren Graham offers us another gem of a book in Have I Told You This Already? A read so good it feels like having a hot cup of coffee with the author herself.”—Rebecca Serle, New York Times bestselling author of One Italian Summer

Love

Loved listening to Lauren. And she makes me smile. Good stories and perfect after turkey read

Heartwarming

Wow! Lauren will always be my TV mom. I learned so much from Lorelei in my teen and college years, it both amazes and comforts me to be able to listen to her stories and learn about her life. Definitely a great read! Her performance kept me intrigued and laughing out loud at times.

like talking to an old friend

if you like Lauren Graham I think you'll like this. I don't think I'll particularly remember anything I heard in this book in the next couple months, but I enjoyed it because it was her. it was like listening to an old friend talk about their life before we met. her take on generation differences, insight into acting, and puns make it a good, happy read if you need something light.

Like hanging out with an old friend

It was fun to hear Lauren’s voice telling her stories, both funny and deep. Kudos, Lauren

Love her

I love her and I love her ability to tell a story. I can’t pick a favorite.

Fun read!

Lauren is fun, witty, charismatic and clever. This book catches it all. You hear bits of her characters in the way she tells her story and I wouldn’t want it any other way! I love her stories of her and May Whitman… a podcast is a great idea! I love hearing her talking about some of her characters and what went on behind the scenes (in her real life). I wish her books were (much) longer-it’s almost like having her with you telling these random but fun stories-ahem-essays. If you’re a fan of Lauren, or Lorelei, or Mighty ducks, or Parenthood…. Or if you just know of them-then this is a must! Looking forward to the next book!!!!

This made me cry

I waited sooo long for this book. Grew up watching Gilmore girls during a rough time in my childhood and found Lauren’s literary work when I was going through a rough time as a new adult. Whenever I have particularly bad panic attack I just listen to Lauren talking as fast as she can. I hope she is happy and proud of herself because I know I certainly am happy and proud of her. She is so much more silver than I remember. Now please excuse me I need to cry some more lol.

Love her Voice

I love everything she does, she’s a wonderful and witty storyteller whether it’s her own life or otherwise. I look forward to more literary work from her.
Oh ya and we need one more AYITL!

she great she best story teller

best if all times we need more gilmore girls also Parenthood hope to see that real soon

Witty

The stories are charming, funny, informative, and reflective. I already want to listen to it all over again.
