Reading Lottery: This is the Story of a Happy Marriage

aggiebug · April 2014

This book is a memoir in the form of a collection of essays by Ann Patchett. This was most definitely not a book I would have selected on my own but I did enjoy it. Its still not my style of book as I rarely read memoirs or collections of essays/short stories. I feel like she did an excellent job organizing her essays into a cohesive book about her life. Thank you for the book suggestion @jackiback

The one about her bookstore sparked many memories of the bookstore we would frequent as a kid. I remember them knowing my name and picking out books they knew I would love. It made me want to find an independent bookstore even more.

Also a random funny, my family's business was mentioned by name in one of her essays. How crazy is that?
