A Skeptic's Guide to AA

by A.J. Adams.

If you're thinking about hitting up the double A but you're petrified, or if you've just started going to AA and still can't figure out what's going on, this is a great primer.

Get it here.

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.

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
