Here's another book I bailed on. The narration kind of put me off. The lack of chronology, going from one subject to the other, all that made it harder for me to relate to the book.

I left my new book at home this morning, so I am reading the free sample on BN's website on my lunch hour. At least I can make _some_ progress?

This memoir about a man's difficult relationship with his parents (especially his mother) was interesting and more than a little heartbreaking. My only complaint is the constant jumping around in the timeline made some parts hard to follow as it was unclear when certain things occurred.
