Read "The Glass Castle." I really thought I was done with memoirs -- the latest got-tired-in-a-nanosecond genre -- but I read this in one sitting. I just hope Jeannette Walls doesn't turn out to be the next James Frey or Augusten Burroughs.
Still pending in the new book pile:
"The Lost" by Daniel Mendelsohn. A little scared to read this, maybe it will jerk too many of my tears.
"The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. You want to start a war of words -- or possibly fisticuffs -- in a bar? Tell someone, "Mary was nothing more than a girl in trouble who came up with a really good story." Better yet, challenge them with this, "Tell me, just where was Jesus between the ages of 18 and 30, and how come that part's been excised from these so-called gospels?"
Okay, let the pile-on begin, here come the "Oh, ye heretic," comments.
