I wasn't quite ready to pick up another just yet, but I'm so glad I did! I am really, really loving this book! I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Here is are some of my very favorite memoirs:
The Liars' Club
LOVE Maya Angelou. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. This is an autobiography, really.
The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother.
Falling Leaves: The Memoir of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter. Soooo, so good!
And my #1 favorite ever: Angela's Ashes. I've never laughed and cried so much. I had to put the book down several times, to take laughing breaks.
The Bell Jar. Not a memoir, but reads like one, so I had to include it.
Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood! Again, not a memoir, but for some reason I had to include it on this list. It feels like one, I guess. And one of my favorite books ever! I call Sydney, Sydeelu, because of Siddalee. Sometimes I call her Sydda too!
The next ones I'll be reading:
Running With Scissors
What is the What. Not a memoir, but based on a true life story, about a boy in Sudan.
Do you have any memoir suggestions for me? What is your favorite? Have you read any of these?

What a great book list! I have not read ANY memoirs. Shame on me! I'm excited to jump in on all your recommendations.
Those look good. I read Angela's Ashes and it is really funny! I love how superstitious The Irish are! Maybe I'll read a memoir after I'm done with Host! The Chinese one looks good.
Nice try, but still not sold. At least you got one of your book clubs to read it :)
I must not be interested in Memoirs, I have not read any of those.
Heh Deann, you so inspire me. This is such an amazing book list.
P.S. What about Twilight? :)J/K
you're missing out Stacy!
Stacy, my book club chose Glass Castle, not me. That's why I started reading it. I just tried to get our neighborhood to read it, which failed, as you know. :)
i almost bought that book you are reading. now i definitely have to pick it up. Memoirs are my favorite too. i've read a couple of the ones you have and i'll have to write down some of the others! it will be a good switch of pace after i'm done with the twilight series.
