Grace (Eventually)
I finished reading Anne Lamott's Grace Eventually and you'll not read anything bad about it here. I am just so glad to be on this earth at the same time as Anne Lamott. Because she makes me laugh and nod my head in recognition and not feel so strange. I really should point out it is Lamott's nonfiction that I am in love with. If you haven't already, poke your nose into Grace Eventually or Plan B or Traveling Mercies or Operating Instructions or Bird by Bird and see if they are for you. If they are, you are surely a friend of mine. Oh, and don't be put off by the religious stuff - she's not at all like one of those annoying holier-than-thou types. As a reviewer put it: "This is a Christian even an atheist could still respect in the morning."

I prefer Lamott's nonfiction way over her fiction...she's just so great at the former! I told a friend of mine the other day that if he ever has any friends who have a kid and they are cool people to get Operating Instructions.
I agree! I thought maybe it was me (it often is). But I tried one of her novels once and couldn't get anywhere with it. Her nonfiction I just eat up though. I love all the stories that have to do with Sam.
Thanks for stopping by!
