• Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls

  Her grandma reminds me of my own… strong, resourceful, a good shot and a horse woman. Loved it.

• Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs

  Hilarious, twisted, shocking, and totally worth it. The movie was less impressive.

• Look Me In the Eye by John Elder Robison

  Brother of Augusten Burroughs. He tells a much different story of their family than his younger brother. A very interesting read on how children with Aspergers lived and were treated before Aspergers was a diagnosis. Recommended.
