Joy Enough: A Memoir

January 21, 2023 ~ bookthrasher ~ 1 Comment

Do you like to read memoirs? How about autobiographies? What's the difference, anyway? I think a memoir is more personal, a self-examination but not necessarily a life story whereas an autobiography is a retelling of a life, start to finish. Let's see what google says: A memoir is a nonfiction narrative in which the author … Continue reading Joy Enough: A Memoir

Hindsight is everything and Lawrence Wright knows it. Wright is the author of The Looming Tower, a methodical and sweeping history that's so engaging and interesting you feel guilty for enjoying it.
