This is probably going to be the book that gets me interested in so-called Small Press books. I got this one in the Small Press section recommended by the little piece of paper stuck to the bookshelf with an employee's recommendation scrawled on it. It's easy reading, but it's very well written. It's a book of short stories of the author's life, but it's quirky and endearing, at times funny and serious. In few words, the author portrays herself with unusual clarity. Each story gives the reader another insight or two of the authors personality.
Addendum upon completion: I finished this book and I really really enjoyed it. This is another book that I am struggling with to assign an integer star rating. 4 stars? 5 stars? I rated [b:In Our Time|280111|Holy Bible|Various|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173381163s/280111.jpg|6405907] 4 stars (which I should probably bump to 5 stars). Is this book as good as that one? Hell no. But how much did I enjoy it? A lot. It was really fun to read and I looked forward to the next story to see what little tidbit of her life and personality she would expose to the reader. Rating a book on enjoyment vs. how good the book is a bit tricky. This book was very enjoyable and I liked it a lot. 4.5 stars maybe?
