... I've never seen him touch it since I met him and he teaches now, doesn't work in an office, so he doesn't need it. Also, The Glass Castle, which isn't something I would have probably listed on my own, but another LTer was asking about it, and I like sharing good books that I probably won't ...

Looking for The Glass Castle:A Memoir for a book club meeting in November. I'm thinking I might just have to buy this one, the chances of this coming available I think is slim.

I went to the local library's book sale today and found two copies of The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. I love this book so much and have my own copy but couldn't resist buying two because I know people want to read it. So, 2 copies. If anybody's interested send me a comment and I'll ...

... us (well, me in particular) usually have one book that we want to read. This year I had two that I wanted to consider, and The Glass Castle won out over The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Clay. A couple of years ago I only wanted to read The Time Traveler's Wife and last year I only ...

Finally got a copy of The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. Also, volumes 2 and 3 of Kristin Lavransdatter to complete the trilogy.

... Devoted Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. Book Two, not as good as Book One (much gorier), but still a good read. 52. The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. An excellent read. I couldn't put it down. I liked best that she told the story matter-of-factly, without judging her parents or ...

I just finished The Glass Castle- a memoir and I am about 1/2 way through The Shack and have begun Out Stealing Horses

Richard what a great story about how your met Mr. Man. --The Glass Castle is an amazing book--how those children turned out as well adjusted as they did is a miracle. So I bet Glass Castle is a book both near and dear to your hearts as it is the way you both met. Musicmom--yep I'm a book ...

96: richardderus, I just loved Glass Castle. It's amazing how much a human soul can not only endure but build on and step up to conquer the world. While I cheered for Jeanette, her older sister and younger brother, I grieved for her little sister who didn't appear to have the same inner strength ...

>95 momom, I hope the Liss books give you hours of readerly delight! Mr. Man was reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. He was fairly early in his recovery from a serious addiction to alcohol. He was crying because the story reminded him of his own past. I sat down to find out ...

Shattering Glass is what resulted when I, Jennifer Government, entered The Glass Castle. Afterward, Cinderella cried As I Lay Dying. In reply, I said, Weep No More My Lady for I am Storming the Gates of Paradise.

... However, the nonfiction books that read like fiction stay with me longer. Some of my favorites are In Cold Blood, The Glass Castle, Miracle in the Andes, Seven From Heaven, and Left for Dead: a Young Man's Search for Justice for the USS Indianapolis .

... best time to read about a post WWII Welsh/English dysfunctional family (it's a bio). Am not sure what her point was, like The Glass Castle I am a bit perplexed about the writer's goals. I guess it's the degree of dysfunctionality that drives people to tell all...that is somehow helps them ...

... English teachers here do a lot of contemporary stuff, i.e. Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, A Long Way Gone, The Glass Castle, Shabanu, Into Thin Air, etc. along with the more traditional classics and anthologies. But then I suppose it all depends on the schools and the ...

... great: I was one who was wowed by James Frey's A Million Little Pieces despite the controversy. I, too, recommend The Glass Castle. I commend the author for her journalistic approach to her odd childhood and her ability to go on to a successful career and stable adulthood. I also ...

I absolutely loved reading The Glass Castle. It was beautifully and lovingly written. I read another memoir within a couple of weeks of that, called The Mistress's Daughter by A.M. Homes which suffered in the comparison. She sounded whiney and selfish. Another good memoir that I ...

It was awful to read, but I second The Glass Castle recommendations. Fish: A Memoir of a Boy in a Man's Prison is another rough read but T. J. Parsell makes the harrowing ride worth taking. Lost and Found: A Daughter's Tale of Violence and Redemption by Babette Hughes was a favorite ...

#160 LisaLynne - I agree that there's a lot to be said for timing. For instance, I read The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls in April and was so impressed with the book and the author. Within a week or so I read The Mistress's Daughter by A.M. Homes and was inordinately disappointed - ...

I also enjoy the same type of books you listed. I would also highly recommend The Glass Castle. Like, A Child Called It almost unbelievable. It will grab you from the first sentence. I think the recent books about FLDS Morman sects ruled by Warren Jeffs would fit the bill. Escape by Ca ...

... to win! Choices include From A to X by John Berger (which just made the Booker longlist), Water for Elephants, The Glass Castle, and Middlesex. There's lots of fantasy and a fair bit of nonfiction as well. Stop by and check it out!

I also read and enjoyed The Liars Club and the loved The Glass Castle. I didn't see Don't Lets Go to the Dogs Tonight by Alexandra Fuller mentioned here yet - it's a wonderful story of growing up in Africa.

#s 6,7,8 -- I also loved The Glass Castle. My favorite memoir I've read recently is Little Heathens: Hard Times and High Spirits on an Iowa Farm during the Great Depression by Mildred Armstrong Kalish. Other good memoirs from the past couple of years have been Bad Blood by Lorna Sage, T ...

6, 7 The Glass Castle is phenomenal. Another that reminds me of it, although on a slightly different topic, is Sickened: the memoir of a Munchausen by proxy childhood by Julie Gregory although, according to my sister-in-law, there is evidently some controversy around that one.

#6: I LOVED The Glass Castle, though it is very hard to read at times. My review is here . I was waking up from a nap when I posted earlier and felt like I was ...

I've heard wonderful things about The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls - high on my TBR list

... mentioned books in the genre would include Eat, Pray, Love as well as books by Anne Lamott. Jeanette Walls's The Glass Castle is another example. Here's my stab at the beginning of a critical approach to memoir/personal journey books, copied from another thread. Please feel ...

... Brodie is in that one too, although the story is very different and I liked Case Histories better. I just finished The Glass Castle which was wonderful, and I've started on Einstein's Dreams which is wonderful too. I read about both of them here and probably wouldn't have come across ...

... that is. I'm considering a re-read of The Eight although I've already read it 2 or 3 times over the years. #76 Elee The Glass Castle is probably the best book I've read this year. I agree with you. Her love for her parents absolutely shines through, even though they were less-than-ideal ...

I am reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, after seeing it mentioned many times here on LT. I'm about half-way through and am enjoying it immensely. Jeannette Walls does such a wonderful job of portraying her parents, and it's clear she loves them very much.

My favs are: The Glass Castle (Jeannette Walls) South: The Endurance Expedition (Ernest Shackleton) Seabiscuit

36. The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. I don't even know what to say about this one. I was glad to see her overcome everything but there wasn't much emotion in the book.

24. Started The glass castle by Jeannette Walls late last week, maybe Thursday, and finished it today at work. I don't know where to start, I can't say enough good things about this book. I feel like I REALLY KNOW this family. I read as much as possible over the weekend, didn't even do any ...

Whew! Finished The Glass Castle and managed not to have an emotional outburst in the process. My review is here: http://readerville.wordpress.com/2008/07/13/sunday-salon-book-review-the-glass-castle-by-jeannette-walls/ Now it's on to The Lace Reader, which I'm hoping will be a bit ...

#2 TheresaHPIR - HP is wonderful and I envy you reading them for the first time. #15 bnbooklady - I absolutely loved The Glass Castle and hope you enjoy it too. I am reading an ARC called The Power Makers by Maury Klein and am finding it fascinating. It's slow going, though, so I'm ...

richardderus: I can completely understand how The Glass Castle is too much even vicariously....same goes for Dry, though I thought that book was easier to relate to because we've all either been there or known someone who was. I'm doing a happy dance for you and Mr. Man that you've each found ...

... to abandon a book my S.O. was incredibly deeply moved by, one that gave him the "Kafka experience" from a post far above...The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls was too much for me, especially after living through his experience of the book. I think I will have to abandon What Entropy Mean ...

... a rare gem. Lucky for me, he's agreed to accompany me (albeit a little later) on my impending move to NY from Texas. The Glass Castle is one of the books I've had to abandon. Mr. Man relates to it all personally, and I was appalled during our early courtship at the things it brought ...

... was wonderful and touching, but something about it just didn't work for me. mckait: I completely see what you mean about The Glass Castle. I'm really enjoying it, but it feels weird to say that since everything she writes about is so awful.

I'm just about to finish The Glass Castle and can't wait to begin The Lace Reader.

... Mr. Man must be a keeper! I'm not sure my hubby has ever cried at a book, but I'd love to know. I'm enjoying The Glass Castle, but I'm generally so appalled by what's happening to her that it overrides all the other emotions.

>167 bnbooklady, The Glass Castle was what Mr. Man was reading when I met him. He was crying over a passage he'd just read...a wiry, camo-wearin' mustache-havin' good ol' boy crying ON A BUS!...so I sat down next to him to find out why. Thus began a conversation that lasts to this good moment. ...

>167 bnbooklady, I read The Glass Castle a couple of years ago and I absolutely loved it. I would say more, but I don't want to give the game away .... ;-) I hope you enjoy this book

162 Rarcar1: I'm finally reading The Glass Castle after months of being hounded by a friend who loved it. What do you think so far?

... up at Target tonight and put it back. I really want to read this but have too much on my plate right now. I did get The Glass Castle for bookclub Wednesday. Nothing like waiting to the last minute!

#181 bnbooklady - I thought The Glass Castle was amazing!

... for Sept., is One of ours by Willa Cather, I just ordered a used copy; finish Losing your pounds of pain; and hopefully The glass castle, just for myself. Not sure what my next audio will be - would have been the Cather novel if I could have found it, no such luck. Anyway, the best laid ...

Just started The Glass Castle last night and haven't been able to put it down. I was appalled by the things she had to go through in just the first 50 pages...it's unbelievably horrifying, and I'm looking forward to getting further and finding out how she moves beyond such a traumatic childhood.

I only have 2 for June - The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls and Stone Creek by Victoria Lustbader, an ER book.

Team of Rivals is my top read so far this year. Most entertaining (ie, good airplane books) have been Glass Castle and Three Cups of Tea. Most interesting literary work has been Disgrace. I have not had an overall fav fiction read yet, alas, so I'll be checking out other people's favs ...

26. The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls This story reminded me of Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes. Walls’s childhood was less than desirable, but it goes to show how resilient and really ingenious children are. Sometimes they have to take on so much more than they were designed for because ...

#148 The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is great! Enjoy! I finished A Glass Castle a few days ago, and it was absolutely incredible. Then I got some nasty virus and caught up on three months worth of O magazines. Today I'm going to start my May ER book, Stone Creek by Victor ...

You consider The Glass Castle a YA novel? I guess if it is for 17 or older. I read it and really enjoyed it. I read an interview with the author where she talked about how many people had to convince her to write it. She thought no one would be interested in her memoir or would believe this is ...
