Countdown to Discussion #1 - 2 Weeks
While we count down our days until we post our first discussion topic on Memoirs of a Geisha, I thought I would also add my latest two "just reads" to my list of books to visit:
Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt
Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
Both are memoirs, in a manner of speaking, and both will make you laugh and cry.
The film version of the Burroughs book is in production and due out later in 2006 or possibly in 2007, since you can never tell with film people, while the film version of McCourt's book came out in 1999. And I think I caught it a few times on HBO, but never at the beginning.
At any rate, they're good reads and I recommend them.

Augusten Burroughs ROCKS! Glad to hear you liked it!
Oh yes. When we go through our stuff in Matt's parents' basement, I'm going to pull out my copy of 'Dry' and see how I like that, too.
I really enjoyed Memoirs of a Geisha as a book, and Angela's Ashes, although a bit repetitive at points, is a good read.
Is this an open book club?
I'm trying to keep it small for starters, but please feel free to comment and/or read along as we continue this experiment.
