I don't remember liking it as much as Angela's Ashes but it was still good.

Very good book!
** spoiler alert ** i started reading this because i love the hbo series. i really wanted to love this book. while i found that the story line is mostly the same, some of the writing is tedious. i had to skim through some. definite points taken off for having a 13 year old girl who's been abused by her brother and sold to a man who rapes her on wedding night (and every night after) only to have her FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM. i don't like the daenerys story line much at all. more points taken off for phrases like "glistening manhood" and "water kissed lower lips" just yuck...
I've never read anyone wallow so gloriously in their own evil--and evil is the only word for it. The womanizing was apparently the least wicked thing he did. He was a slave trader in New Guinea, for God sakes! So, I obviously didn't come away liking him as a person. But as a writer he was remarkably good, in a glib, raconteurish type of way. It reminded me of Humbert Humbert, the unctuous, self-justifying narrator of Lolita. He is describing his own evil acts, but doing it in such a way that you begin to feel sympathy for him. As if no one that witty and sophisticated and self-pitying could possibly be a child molester. In the end, what more can you say about a man who met his second wife at his first rape trial? Update: The day before yesterday TCM showed Errol Flynn movies all day long, as well as a documentary about him. Watching some of his movies again, I've changed my mind about him as an actor. He could give a good performance when he believed in the movie (e.g., Objective, Burma!) The problem was he didn't like doing the kind of films they cast him, and it wasn't until late in his career when he could no long swash a buckle, that he got the roles he wanted. Also, the documentary made clear that his autobiography was mostly just good literature (i.e., total bullshit, well told.) Ironically, the fact that he's a liar makes him not as bad a person as I thought.
I'm a big fan of pop culture, and loved the fact that I could be like "oh hey! I remember that! I know what he's talking about!" several times while reading this, but was a bit put off at the same time by his "I'm cooler than you"-attitude, just because he can probably name all the characters on the Smurfs.

Appealingly old-fashioned. A nice riff on A Secret Garden.

This is easily one of my favorite novels of the books I've read in the past 5 years. It's lauded as Stegner's masterpiece and I completely agree. Stegner tells the story of a man who has a disease that is crippling him. He's living in his ancestral home, being taken care of by an old, old, family friend. He's a historian and feels compelled to research his paternal grandmother using the journals and keepsakes that are at the house. Stegner weaves the life story of the grandmother (and grandfather) and the story of the historian together. As the protagonist is making realizations and grudgingly realizing the two may be compared--the reader is also--and making his/her revelations about the story. What unfolds is a breathtaking piece about marital/familial relationships. A novel that will suck you in, you'll almost smell the rooms, imagine the places that the novel took place in.

Interesting... It's not what I expected but it definitely made me think, because for one brief moment in time, he got to experience happiness. And that is better than anything else.
Book was fantastic! Don't even bother with the movie because, even though Augusten worked on the movie, it doesn't do the story justice.
