Great concepts, but from a Christian perspective

Revisado: 05-17-19

I wouldn't have bought this book in advance if I'd known it was so focused on Christian ideology, but I still found a value in what he wrote. The presentation of material has too much of a "I'm right and I know what's best for you" attitude which I don't like in self help style books, but I do think he presents most things in a generally rational and balanced manner.

Couldn't finish this

Revisado: 04-26-19

The story is interesting (about the recording of the live at Folsom Prison album and the contribution of Glen Sherley --an inmate who wrote the song Greystone Chapel--and how the album fit into the political/social/cultural context of the late 60s) but I found the narrator so intolerably over dramatic I had to stop it halfway through.

Sad, quirky, beatiful

Revisado: 10-16-17

This book is perhaps a late-in-life coming-of-age story of a lonely woman, a story about imperfect relationships, where getting what you want isn't what you expected, a story told in the signature quirky observational style of Miranda July.

beautiful prose + tragic story, dramatic read

Revisado: 10-14-17

Joyce Carol Oates is a master of fiction, and this novella is no exception. Story is dark, depressing, but beautifully done. Inspired by the Chappaquiddick incident

LOL'd a bunch

Revisado: 10-13-17

This book came recommended to me by a stand up comic friend, and I absolutely laughed out loud at this book more than any other book I can ever recall. Def some moments of racially insensitive comments, but beyond that, she's a wacky lady with a funny autobiography.

Interesting look at effect of free porn on culture

Revisado: 10-11-17

Interesting. Depressing. Is anything really free or does everything have a cost? We all know the price that downloading music for free has had on the music industry, but I had never thought about how free porn might have had ripple effects beyond the immediate. The far reaching effects of free porn are addressed on several strata. Worthy listening for the digital age.

Fun story + annoying 80s obsession

Revisado: 10-11-17

Didn't realize this was young adult sci-fi, and so author's obsession with 80s culture felt annoying and over-explained, especially as I lived through those years and don't, for example, need Max Headroom's identity spelled out, but beyond that the story is fun. Can understand why it's being turned into a movie.
