Winner!

I'm not entirely sure who's voted (nine people, wow!) but The Glass Castle seems to be the winner! I'm very excited. The Thirteenth Tale took second place; maybe we will read that next month? Does anyone have any suggestions for pacing? Should we just post our thoughts as we read? What about spoilers? How soon can everyone buy their book? Reviews of The Glass Castle:

Publishers Weekly
With a fantastic storytelling knack... Walls doesn't pull her punches.

Kirkus Reviews
Walls's journalistic bare-bones style makes for a chilling, wrenching, incredible testimony of childhood neglect. A pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps, thoroughly American story.

Booklist - Stephanie Zvirin (starred review)
Shocking, sad, and occasionally bitter, this gracefully written account speaks candidly, yet with surprising affection, about parents and about the strength of family ties--for both good and ill.

The New York Times - Francine Prose
The Glass Castle falls short of being art, but it's a very good memoir. At one point, describing her early literary tastes, Walls mentions that ''my favorite books all involved people dealing with hardships.'' And she has succeeded in doing what most writers set out to do -- to write the kind of book they themselves most want to read.
