Reading about Peggy's life and her artist friends was facinating, make sure to pick up a companion art book so you can look up the artwork as you read the book ( a tip from a friend)

Also a story of high school into college told from a unique view. If you liked Prep, you will like this one also.
Great Book that keeps you interested from beginning to end!

I absolutely loved this series. I ate these books up! Riley is exactly the kind of kick-ass chick I look for in my books. I have no complaints about any of the books!

I'm still torn on whether Egypt did the right thing in making peace with Israel or left Palestinians high and dry, but over all the book left me with a great deal of respect for Sadat and his wife. The book is touted as her plan for peace, but I'd say that is not at all what it is about. The greater theme of forgiveness and understanding definitely applies, but some of her specifics are all wrong. She thinks there is a resolution to the refugee problem in letting them return to the region, but not Israel proper- which I think is absurd. I'm still going with one state as the fairest solution, but I realize that one will come with conflict as well. It was interesting to read a bit about their lives and Sadat's legacy of democracy and peace. He did what he believed in and was willing to pay for it with his life (and did). She writes about Islam and what it means to her for a bit as well. This is perfect for those who are intent on telling as many as possible that Islam is not a religion of peace, "they" all want to kill us, true Islam is what extremists practice, where are the moderates, etc. She is a bit confused about Christianity, which is understandable. I thought many of her contrasts with Islam, however, were invalid because she used examples from Catholicism and Calvinism, which in many ways I don't believe are supported by scripture. This in no way invalidates what she says about Islam of her practice of it. The West could learn a lot even if one disagrees with it. She also writes about feminism. While she encourages independence, she also speaks to the Christian (and Muslim) value of the sexes having different roles, but being partners as well. Often in the US it is a choice- are you a feminist or do you take care of the home? All in all, it's a good read and short, too.

quite the domino effect with this story! start with one thing and end on a totally different one... yet it stuck to its core perfectly... i was skeptical at first because i was assuming it'd be just another love story... but it definitely wasn't! at least not the love story i was expecting... and, although it might take a day or two for it all to sink in, i think i might walk away with something unspoken from this story... for just randomly choosing this book off a shelf as a "filler" to get me through until the books i had just ordered arrived, i was pleasantly surprised...

I love David Sedaris! The way he describes his experiences are hilarious and I find myself laughing outloud. As you will see from my list I recommend several of his books!
I don't think anything Hamilton writes will ever live up to "A Map of the World" for me, but this was still a worthwhile read in my view.
The shocking first few pages will have you hanging on tight and it's a good thing too because you are truly in for a wild ride. This book tackles big issues - what is a normal human being, what makes us unique, and what about those family values? Not surprising that it's regarded as a cult classic. The author sounds like an interesting character, not surprising. She has been working on another novel for the past 20 years that is yet to come out.
Some of these stories are obnoxiously precious, so if you can't handle cute, stay away. But I'm wearing my sweater and scarf and drinking tea and listening to Belle & Sebastian on a rainy afternoon in a bay window in Seattle, so fuck you. And "Something That Needs Nothing" is a goddamn poignant story. There are a few others that stand out too. With some, I grate at the cuteness a bit, but other than that, I strongly approve.
