“The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls. Highly recommended. I’m starting to get a grasp of what makes a good memoir.

“blink” by malcolm gladwell.
“way of the peaceful warrior” by dan millman.
“house of leaves” by alice sebold. which is being made into a movie by the peter jackson squad. can’t wait. i shared this book with some other friends and they couldn’t put it down. a friend of mine read it in four days. another in one. my, they’re good.
“teacher man” by frank mccourt. after the third book i grew weary of his self-deprecating tone. i mean, get a life, won’t ya? ;)
i’d still read the next book.
