You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried: The Brat Pack, John Hughes, And Their Impact on a Generation, by Susannah Gora


Oddly fascinating book about the making of classic 80's teen films, including Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and more. The combination of analysis of the movies and great back-story gossip and interviews made it compulsively readable, and it was kind of amazing to realize how huge the impact of those movies on pop culture really has been.
