Grace Notes: True Stories about Sins, Sons, Shrines, Marriage... by Brian Doyle

Brian Doyle is a great writer. Different than any I've read before, but he definitely got my attention. I loved how short and succinct each essay was (not longer than a page or two, or a two and a half pages). He has some neat ideas, and a way of saying something that makes you all bubbly inside. My favorite being "sidelong glances from someone you love" in the essay "Cool Things." For more on that rather vague and abstract statement, read the book! Or just read that essay, it's posted on my blog.
