[quote=Anonymous]Depends - do you want a dark memoir or a funny memoir? For dark, the Alexandra Fuller one ("Don't Let's Go To the Dogs tonight") and The Glass Castle are good picks. I also enjoyed "We Were the Kennedys" about a family growing up in Maine. For something lighter, I enjoyed "Bossypants" by Tina Fey and Mindy Kaling's books. I also loved "Unspeakable," a book of essays by Megan Daum. For light fiction, I highly recommend "Modern Lovers" by Emma Straub, "The Vacationers," also by Emma Straub, and "Happy All The Time" or "A Big Storm Knocked It Over" by Laurie Colwin. I also like Ann Patchett's writing - she has a great book of non-fiction essays called "This is the story of a happy marriage" and in terms of fiction, my favorites by her are "Bel Canto" and "State of Wonder" - and her newest one, "Commonwealth," is also pretty good.[/quote]
