Talon and aisah,

I'm a fan of Marya Hornbacher too.

I loved Wasted and Madness was good too

I read almost entirely nonfiction and love dysfunctional, passionate memoirs that are written well, of course!

I've been reading forum threads on the message boards here
and reading from several books lately: yesterday, a co-worker gave
me a book and it is quite interesting, actually.

The Mammoth Book of Unsolved Crimes
Edited by: Roger Wilkes (1999: London, England)

I'm not reading any particular story in order presented within this book.
I am currently reading: Murder Hath Charms (pp. 540-551).

In particular, I appreciate the introduction penned by Editor Wilkes.
Definately a must-read for those of you out there that appreciate this type of subject of interest.

I finished Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, this after reading Fifty Shades of Grey. It was a bit like losing hundreds of brain cells, then gaining them all back.

Now I'm reading Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson. I hope my brain cell regeneration continues, but that might be too much to ask from a book with a stuffed mouse wearing a cape and ruff on its cover.

Maybe the mouse is practicing his Shakespeare.

Let us know what you think of Let's Pretend, very mixed reviews on Amazon.
