12693979, the last Memoir that you liked
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Fri Jan-09-15 02:43 AM
seems alot of books dropped over the past few months, but what was the last one that truly caught your attention
and was moving you from start to finish?

12693991, The Warmth of Other Suns

It's ethnography, not memoir. It's still really great. I loved the audible version too.

12694104, Herbie Hancock's Possibilities.

for a fan like me, it was required reading
but for everyone else I think it's an engaging read, light on the "evangelism" and a good window into a dude's thought process. plus some eye opening accounts of his own life and others.

I knew he was pivotal to the Civil rights movement but this really brought it home.

I'm sure he's updated it a million times since I read it though. His life was/is amazing.

12694973, The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion

Dead on examination of the effects of death/grief.
Didion somehow treats death with a kind of Ninja intellectual coldness and distance that gets to the heart of the experience. Recommended.
