Book Reviews

Just realized it's been a long time since I've shared some good books. We've been so busy lately that I haven't had much time to read, but when we are traveling that's the time I do most of my reading. Also, I still love my kindle- best invention ever.

This is a memoir by Mindy Kaling, the girl from The Office. She's pretty hilarious. Except these kinds of books make me jealous because I feel like I have just as funny stories and it makes me want to write a book. Maybe one day.... we'll just stick to blogging for now.
I knew this book was going to be terrible, but the depth of terribleness was really shocking. I would recommend this for a 12 year old girl with insecurity issues. She would love this. I still love Lauren Conrad's style, just not her writing. Oh, and it was totally based on her time on The Hills. Some parts were changed, but others were very obvious.
This book is amazing. It's Anthony Kiedis' memoir. In case you haven't noticed, that's my favorite type of book. He has lived a ridiculously interesting life and it's a miracle that he is still alive. He's the lead singer from Red Hot Chili Peppers.
This book is written by Dave Eggers, but the story is of a guy who was a Lost Boy of Sudan. It's technically a work of fiction, only because there are parts of the his life that he couldn't possibly remember in such great detail. Dave Eggers does an amazing job telling this man's story. This is not for the weak of heart, but such an experience. It's good to read about the afflictions of others to truly appreciate what you have yourself.
This is Dave Eggers' personal memoir. Both of his parents died when he was 22 and he had to then raise his 11 year old brother. Well written and almost rambling at points, but a good read.
I wasn't that interested in Cleopatra until I started reading this book. Amazing. She went through quite a bit in her life. This book is very well written and incredibly fascinating. I don't usually like nonfiction, but this is worth a read.
