Susie Essman (aka Susie Greene) from Curb Your Enthusiasm joins us this week on You Are What You Read for a conversation about her favorite books, her prized friendships, and her extraordinary career making people laugh.  A stand-up comedian, actress, writer, television producer and voice artist, Susie electrifies any project with her trademark humor and unique sense of character. She emerged as one of the most successful performers in comedy, working alongside Joy Behar, Rodney Dangerfield, and, of course, Jeff Garlin and Larry David, to name a few.  In this conversation, you will learn Susie Essman is nothing like Susie Greene---Susie Essman is thoughtful, sensible and demure. But the great ones can play anything---and no one can play Susie Greene like Susie Essman. She is in a category by herself!  We'd also like to thank our sponsor Book of the Month.  Head over to bookofthemonth.com and use Promo Code ADRI to get your first book for just $9.99.
