In a good year (one when I'm not obsessively writing, i.e., a year that is not this one), I can plow through upwards of 140 books, and a good portion of them are memoirs. Having recently organized the list of books I want to read, there are over 30 memoirs on there. I love true stories that can place me smack-dab into another person's life. I adore a good memoir.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263897351215100419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-24328068103477994302010-08-17T09:50:25.565-04:002010-08-17T09:50:25.565-04:00No, sorry.

The only memoir I've ever read through the end is BORN ON A BLUE DAY, but that read a little more like a NF book on autistic savants than a memoir.Sarah N Fiskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15336889385096937607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-36677581659894985892010-08-17T05:43:04.105-04:002010-08-17T05:43:04.105-04:00I find people who talk about themselves incessantl...I find people who talk about themselves incessantly in the office rather annoying. If someone has the hubris to write an entire novel about themselves, I'm not entirely sure I'd find the person appealing to read about anyway.Hillsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333788288049781211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-15074349067922829032010-08-16T17:33:18.600-04:002010-08-16T17:33:18.600-04:00Although I love biographies, I don't read many...Although I love biographies, I don't read many memoirs or even autobiographical novels. I'm feeling particularly gun-shy since I recently took a chance on a celebrity memoir and read Marlee Matlin's I'll Scream Later.

As far as I know, Elizabeth Gilbert never married a Rolling Stone or touched the garment of Justin Bieber, but somebody took a chance on her, too. Congrats on the auction and fantastic deal.Anne R.

The true crime market has gotten flooded with paperback lookalikes, but I love the ones that feature a unique voice and in-depth research.
