Recommendations

It wouldn't make sense to most people looking at my bookshelves, but I've long been shelving the books faculty (or other teachers) recommended to me alongside their own books. They'll always be associated in my mind (or weighing on it, if I still haven't read them). These are a few:

Bob Shacochis: Running in the Family, The House on Mango Street, Because I Remember Terror, Father, I Remember You

George Packer: Winesburg, Ohio, Memoirs of Hecate County

Lucy Grealy: Disappearance: A Map

Also:

Alexandra Johnson: Holy Land by D.J. Waldie

Richard McCann: Maps to Anywhere

Jane Brox: The Book of Ebenezer Le Page, Independent People

Frank Gaspar: Volcano: A Memoir of Hawai'i
