So, don't be suprised if I end up thanking you for the tip.Sean Patrick Reardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051252366031997054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3588286618702079946.post-3984747628126276422011-09-02T16:25:30.905-07:002011-09-02T16:25:30.905-07:00I've read The Liars Club, and it is, indeed, e...I've read The Liars Club, and it is, indeed, excellent. I think it may have put me on the path to reading memoirs obsessively for a few years, though few can match it. You probably won't enjoy -- just a hunch -- A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel, but it my all-time favorite memoir. Rather more gentle and whimsical than The Liars Club, with no edge at all, but a heart-pleaser.<br /><br />Ellis confounds me, Sean. He's clearly a genius, but it's that scary kind of genius. And "the 80s literary brat pack" is exactly what they were. :)R.S.

(Ellis, McInerny, Tartt) Enjoyeed it very much. Was disappointed with Ellis' follow up to Less Than Zero, Imperial Bedrooms, but I'll still read anything he puts out. May I humbly suggest THE LIARS CLUB by Mary Karr, if you have not already read that. It is excellent.Sean Patrick Reardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051252366031997054noreply@blogger.com
