Read for a book club.
Did not like it. At all.
This book is a huge waste of paper.
And it‘s a huge cliche we all already know.

Also the author is a bit of a abusive asshole.
Look up him and Mary Karr.
Hard pass.

DAY 18: #MaryKarr is one of my favorite female American authors. She writes so beautifully about her life .... do NOT ask her about David Foster Wallace. 🤫

PS. She is totally the basis for the P.G.O.A.T. in Infinite Jest.

#yourbestamericangirl #nofemmeber

Billypar After reading Lit earlier this year, I'm excited to read more Karr! 6y
saresmoore I haven‘t read anything of hers! Do you have a recommendation of where to start? 6y

britt_brooke @saresmoore Yes! Start with The Liars‘ Club. Then Cherry, then Lit. That‘s the order in the time frame of her life. I love her because her writing is literary, but memoir. I think you will like her, too. 🤞🏻 6y
saresmoore Done. Now I only wish I had looked for them at the library sale! Maybe I‘ll be able to talk my kiddos into swinging by tomorrow... 6y
Reviewsbylola I especially loved her first two memoirs. 6y
britt_brooke @saresmoore I have an extra copy of The Liars‘ Club I‘d be happy to send your way if you want it? Shoot me your address: brittany.seibert@gmail.com 6y
Cinfhen Great choice! And I agree her writing is excellent and while I enjoyed her memoir, I wasn‘t smitten. 😕 6y
saresmoore That would be amazing, thank you! I‘ll shoot you an email now. 😊 6y
britt_brooke @saresmoore Got it! I‘ll probably get it out next week. 💌 6y

My hauls today from #McKays and #Goodwill. @Booksnchill Thanks for the tip on the bargain books at McKay‘s! I grabbed the #JonathanTropper and #MaryKarr books from that section for less than a dollar each. They‘ll be used for future swaps or giveaways. The #ThomasMcGuane is for the husband.

#bookhaul #usedbooks #shoplocal

Booksnchill Wow good haul!!! Need to get back to McKays!!!😂👍 6y
Billypar Oooh...so much good stuff here! I haven't read most but I'm a big fan of many of the authors. 6y
britt_brooke @Booksnchill Yeah .... I definitely didn‘t mean home with 15 books today, ha! I couldn‘t believe my luck at Goodwill, too. I love the thrill of the hunt. 😆 6y

Booksnchill @britt_brooke i have never hunted at Goodwill- next on the list!! 6y
britt_brooke @Booksnchill Yes, you have to try it! I always get lucky there. I usually go about once a month. Today, I went to the one here and the one in Madison. 6y
britt_brooke @Billypar I got really lucky today! I‘ve only read - and loved - the Mary Karr books and the Tropper. Excited for the rest! 6y
Leftcoastzen I love Thomas McGuane! 6y
britt_brooke @Leftcoastzen I‘ve never read any of his books, but my husband is a fan. I‘ll have to give him a try sometime. 6y

Thanks @TricksyTails ❣️

1. Hillbilly Elegy - Too many sweeping generalizations; bailed 1/4 in.

2. No snacks, but I almost always have ☕️ (or 🍺 or 🍷).

3. I‘m going memoir here: The Liars‘ Club by #MaryKarr, Dry by #AugustenBurroughs, Into Thin Air by #JonKrakauer, Another Bullshit Night in Suck City by #NickFlynn, Five Years to Freedom by #NickRowe

4. I‘m late, so whoever wants to jump in.

#TuesdayTidbits @JenlovesJT47

jwashreads Into This Air was such a surprise! I couldn't believe how much I liked it--didn't think I would ever care about an Everest climbing story. But Krakauer is so compelling 😊 7y
readordierachel I finished Hillbilly Elegy but totally agree about the generalizations. He should've kept to the memoir aspects. 7y
britt_brooke @jwashreads I love Krakauer! I bought Into Thin Air on audio recently for a reread. 7y
See All 8 Comments
britt_brooke @ReadOrDieRachel Agree! If it had been a straight up memoir without the social commentary, it would‘ve worked much better. 7y
TricksyTails Same for 2! ♥️ I just love the title for Nick Flynn‘s so I‘m going to go look it up! 😆 7y
britt_brooke @TricksyTails It‘s a really great read! It‘s also found under the title Being Flynn which is really lame. 7y
TricksyTails 😂 Being Flynn 😴 vs Another Bullshit Night In Suck City 🤩🎉? I know which edition I‘m going to hunt for! 7y
