Junk
"To my dear beloved survivors: when you one day clean out my basement, you'll find a copy of Alison Stewart's Junk. Sit down on the pile of New Yorkers , turn on that halogen floor lamp I used in college, crack open a can of Jolt Cola (you'll find about three cases), and read about why all the stuff around you isn't necessarily junkexcept for that stack of VHS tapes. That's just crap." -- Mo Rocca, correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning and host of My Grandmother's Ravioli

"Finally, a book that explains my lava lamp, boxes of cassette tapes, and three pairs of clogs. Thank you, Alison Stewart! This book is overdue, and I promise not to put it on one of my piles." -- Hoda Kotb, cohost of the Today Show
