ucancallmev 's review for:

The White Album by Joan Didion
4.0

Began in the first few days of my Month In LA & finished on the last day :D

Getting a window into some of Joan's experience with illness throughout her life was a surprise for me. Joan's honest reflections were validating, and I have found myself thinking about her often in the days of dealing with my own. "...when the pain recedes...everything goes with it,..." (172).

I also never want to forget the rather frighteningly cosmic experience I had reading this. I know that that will be enough of a reference for Future Me to remember what I mean. But if not, think of planes in the sky, and people in the planes.

'At the Dam' chapter must be followed by listening to Fionn Regan's, 'Dogwood Blossom'. Trust me on this one!
