Crystal's review of
Through Painted Deserts: Light, God, and Beauty on the Open Road byDonald Miller
good description. It's also a book that if you pick it up and read it again, in another season, you will hear different parts of his story that you missed the first time through, and in different ways too.

Michael H's review of
Running with Scissors: A Memoir byAugusten Burroughs
yeah, I guess I read the book right after I read tons of Sedaris. In fact, Augusten was recommended as "If you like Sedaris, you'll like Augusten." I guess because they're both gay and have ridiculous stories to tell. So I read the memoir with the expectation to be entertained. And much of the book was entertaining, he's a good writer/story teller, but I guess I missed the heart of story, and was annoyed because I felt like he was trying to shock me instead of using good writing. Perhaps, I'll give it another read. I also want to see the movie.
