This woman is so funny. SO FUNNY. Read this in a day. Was laughing out loud while waiting in the grocery store checkout line.

Appetites

Why Women Want

by Caroline Knapp.

Way more than a memoir about an eating disorder.

See for yourself.

Lit

by Mary Karr.

I really enjoyed this... but she lost me when she converted to Catholicism.

Get it here.

Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It

by Geoff Dyer.

I couldn't be bothered to finish this book.

I just can't relate to a 40 something bachelor and his earth wandering tales.

If you can, then get the book here.

By Judith Levine.

Lots of psychological and social analysis, less personal stories which was disappointing. But I guess writing about not doing something is tricky.

Eat, Pray, Love

by Elizabeth Gilbert.

Note the lag. This is the problem with reading 4 books at once.

P.S. Memoirs are SO self-indulgent

You know what else is good? The Broke Diaries. But Halle Berry didn't endorse that one.

Not a fan.
