The Glass Castle: A Memoir

3 people recommended this item

Description

Jeannette Walls is a journalist in NYC and used to write Scoop for msnbc.com. This book details how she grew up with basically the most f-ed up parents of all time. Don't start to read this if you don't have time to finish cause you won't want to put it down.

A Fine Balance - Rohinton Mistry

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

You should probably read this when you're incredibly depressed about your own life. You'll then realize how much of a silly ass you are because it's nowhere near as bad as the people in this book. Set in India in the 1970's, at every point you just think that it can't get worse and then surprise! it does.

What a great story! Can't wait to see the movie! But I must say that books are always better than the movies.

The Kite Runner: Khaled Hosseini: Books

Description

A really amazing book once you can get through the traumatic event that starts the story. Seriously, it's a little hard to take, but it's a great story after that.

Life of Pi

Boy gets stranded on a life boat with a Tiger. Obviously going to be a fabulous story. Skip the first 100 pages, they're really boring.

Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

First to recommend

Description

I had a lot of people hyping up 100 Years of Solitude before I read it and found it to be really disappointing. This is in my opinion the better Marquez book. Gives another meaning to "True Love Waits" that doesn't make me want to laugh.

Lip Obsessed

Updated Mar 31, 2008

I literally have 8 different pots or tubes of lipgloss in my purse at any given moment. It's a compulsion and I can't stop.
