Cool! I hadn't heard about this until now. I loved Operating Instructions and so cool to read the description of this one. Can I say cool again, or does that make me really not cool?
I loved Anne's writing for years until she turned into a raving political lunatic in her last couple of books. I sincerely hope she's gone back to her roots in this book because I miss the Anne of "Bird by Bird" and "Operating Instructions".
Me too! I am waiting for my LibraryThing early reviewer copy to arrive. I feel like the luckiest reader on the planet to win this one. I love Anne Lamott like no other writer. Can't wait to hear what you think about it....
Hooray! I saw Annie Lamott right before the Obama election. She spoke with Elizabeth Gilbert, the Eat, Pray, Love writer. I have to say that Lamott made me laugh so hard, I almost wet my pants. She was also incredibly wise and made Gilbert look like a lightweight.
You are so going to love this book, I can tell. By page 50 I have laughed out loud too many times to count, burst into tears three times, sobbing like a ninny once. She captures the angst of parenthood and life so well, and she's like reading a conversation with a very funny, very wise old friend. I'm trying to read slow, it's a little book....
what i thought love was is so much less than what it is

Someone may have stolen your dream when it was young and fresh and you were innocent. Anger is natural. Grief is appropriate. Healing is mandatory. Restoration is possible. -Jane Rubietta

"Poetry has nothing to do with poetry. Poetry is how the air goes green before thunder. Is the sound you make when you come, and why you live and how you bleed, and The sound you make or don't make when you die."- Gwendolyn MacEwen

"Her looks fading, the vain Lispector became increasingly reclusive and demanding. Addicted to cigarettes and sleeping pills, she exhibited erratic and sometimes imperious behavior. She would call friends in the middle of the night and flee dinner parties for little apparent reason. She had a reputation for being a liar."-<em>NYT on Clarice Lispector
My dear child, who can tell? One can only tell that, by remembering something which happened where we lived before; and as we remember nothing, we know nothing about it; and no book, and no man, can ever tell us certainly.
Some couples don’t ask much of one another after they’ve worked out the fundamentals of jobs and children. Some live separate intellectual and cultural lives, and survive, but the most intense, most fulfilling marriages need, I think, to struggle toward some kind of ideological convergence. Norman Rush
