Good review, especially on analogies and reading comprehension.

Sometimes I don't think I am meant to read memoirs. Once in a while one really resonates with me but the majority of the time I read knowing I am supposed to be gaining some kind of understanding of a universal truth but not quite grasping it within the stories. I think a good part of my difficulty with memoirs is that they often do not run in a linear fashion with the story moving in chronological order. This is certainly true of Take Good Care of the Garden and the Dogs by Heather Lende. This is Lende's second book with the first being If You Lived Here, I'd Know Your Name: News from Small-Town Alaska. Both books revolve around the citizens of Haines, Alaska and the impact that living there has on the author. Take Good Care of the Garden and the Dogs begins as Lende prepares to go on a book tour for her first book but is literally hit by a truck instead. Her months of recuperation, the illness and death of her mother, and writing obituaries for the town residents lead her to reflect on her community and her faith. The book is deeply spiritual without being preachy and Lende is able to add some humor to what might otherwise be a very somber story. Lende moves fluidly throughout time tying together the past, the present, and even hopes for the future. One memory or story gives birth to the next as she tells the stories of those she knows and has known. While the book was interesting in parts, there was much that simply failed to capture my attention. I am not sure if it is because the wilderness setting of such a remote Alaskan town has no connection to my life or if it was because I was unable to relate to the various characters and events portrayed in the book. It is also very possible that I was simply not in the right frame of mind when I was reading it due to my own personal circumstances. I think Take Good Care of the Garden and the Dogs will appeal and resonate with a great many people. I just don't happen to be one of them.

Naked makes some people uncomfortable. I guess that's why it has this name. But Sedaris does such an excellent job of bringing you into his family and making you feel for them, while also making you laugh. So, its all a little dysfunctional, but few writers are as good at combining dysfunction and humor than Sedaris.
Don't normally rate books I haven't read all the way through, but I opened this in the library while looking at the shelf of new english books, and feel the need to object to the tortures inflicted on innocent adjectives. If anyone knows a man out there who can actually "firm his jaw squarely" I'd love to see it.
Excellent! Kept nodding in a agreement the whole way through.

For some reason, I thought that this book was going to be more of the snail's-pace, introspective type. Introspective, yes, but also gripping and highly readable, with a surprising number of layers to sort through. I will say that this is probably the most tense reading experience I've ever had. At a lot of times it's not fun to be so absorbed in the main character, but it's a testament to the skill of Diane Chamberlain's storytelling that I savored every page.
Very good! I advise you read it!

Pretty light reading - sort of like a harlequin - made me want my own "Marlboro Man" (well, maybe). Chapters and chapters of details about her dating life with Marlboro Man. I liked the small bit of gritty stuff better about her parent's relationship and the birth of her baby.
Couldn't resist the cover and the plot! And my first impression of this book were corresponding with the outcome: It was a great story, likable characters and loving the complicated twist in the story. After I reached the end of the book I just knew there will be a sequel and hopefully it doesn't spin into some ridiculous 'love triangle drama' that I didn't see in the first book but appear on the second. That will be a cheap trick. So i'm off to add the sequel to my to-read shelf!
