Feeling like too many other responsibilities are pulling you away from reading? I just dusted some of the dirty furniture in my house and arranged them there. That will have to do for today.

What inspired this collection of books? A new temptation has just been moved into the fiction room: Memoir–a section long-loved by fiction room booksellers!

This photo features these brand new memoirs, essays and letters: Wild by Cheryl Strayed (Cheryl took a 1100-mile hike after life got to be too much!); Farther Away by Jonathan Franzen (loving this!); Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake by Anna Quindlen (We have signed copies!); Living, Thinking, Looking by Siri Hustevedt (look for these reflections on philosophy, neuroscience, psychology & literature in June); This Is How by Augusten Burroughs (He claims to rid us of the need for any other self-help book!); The Other Walk by Sven Birkerts (I would read anything Birkerts writes.); Against Wind & Tide (letters by Anne Morrow Lindbergh–always an inspiration for women who feel compelled to do everything in life plus dusting).
