The Folded Clock: A Diary by Heidi Julavits
4.0
Yet another book I would have never thought to pick up if it wasn't for my book club. This was author Heidi Julavits' attempt at writing a diary as an adult, after being disappointed with her findings from when she was young and kept a diary the first time. The result is a conglomeration of reflections of a day and then basically everything from her life that that day reminded her of.
Julavits is witty and amusing with good reflective thoughts. There were some things about her personality that drove me insane; ie. her insistence on relating to herself through men, her inability to be single, her insistence on being perpetually coy. But there was plenty to admire and quite a bit that I related to. Overall, I quite enjoyed this book and am glad that I had to chance to read it, since it's unlikely that I would have found it on my own.
