Chuck Reducks: Drawing from the Fun Side of Life

I rather enjoyed this book, which was part memoir and part insight into Chuck Jones' approach to animation, and many Looney Tunes and other characters specifically. I enjoyed the humor and voice he was able to impart, which made the animation details just as much of a story and entertaining as the anecdotes he presented.

While it isn't as technical as other books on animation, or as detailed as other animation history books, I think this would be a good book to at least read through once for Jones' voice and wit, as well as the technical information. There are numerous illustrations, from sketches by Jones himself and others, as well as photos. I enjoyed studying many of the sketches to learn more about his quirks and stylings, which would be helpful if you're a fan of his work.

All in all, I enjoyed it.
