The historic and famous memoir that elevated the reach of all other memoirs in the early 2000s — this has been one of my favorite books of all time. If you haven’t heard of it, you will see it’s influence in books that have come to pass since the publication of this witty yet disturbing memoir. It is dark humor at its finest, the epitome of taking what trauma you’ve gone through and finding the funny in it, or the ridiculous in everything as the quote on the first page says. Get it for cheap!
