Default The Glass Castle

I finished the Glass Castle a short time ago. So very sad to see how the author grew up. Quite amazing to think she grew up the same time I did. I just can't imagine all that she went through. The fact that she is a normal human being today is quite remarkable. Her parents were certainly "different" folks, but in spite of it all, the kids received quite an education. I finished the book with a very sad feeling, though. It was going to be my selection to moderate for our book club, but I just didn't want to have to read the book again. (My turn is in August, and I would need to read it again to remember all the things I wanted to discuss.) I think I'll stick with a little happier theme in the future, but I would still recommend the book.
