<p>I recently enjoyed 'Becoming' by Michelle Obama. <br/>As well, 'In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom' by Yeonmi Park.</p>

<p>I’ve started reading some memoirs lately, and I’m really enjoying them. Lauren Graham’s has been on my to-read list. I need to head to the library and get it. </p>

<p>We could have one on here. There is a way to make a new topic for people who want to join. I'm game if anyone else wants to do it. I've never been in a book club or even done a buddy read. Anyone else interested???</p>

<p>There should be a book club group! We can all read a book and chat about it together! :D</p>

<p>I've never been into memoirs. There's really no celebrity that is important enough to read about them or their life, but this one does sound interesting... I'm with you. That does sound interesting. I might just read my first memoir. Thanks!</p>

<p>Oooh, that sounds interesting. I would love something with an interesting story/perspective like that. I'll make a note. Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks for this suggestion! Sounds like it's similar to Susan Jane Gilman's "Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress," which I read in high school and enjoyed. I'll check her out. Thanks! :)</p>

<p>If you enjoy memoirs on the humorous side, I recommend "Funny in Farsi" by Firoozeh Dumas. It is about her family immigrating to the U.S. and adjusting to the culture here. I shared it with three or four people at work; they also loved it.</p>

<p>I enjoy Jenny Lawson's memoirs -- they're definitely funny, and sometimes dark. I don't think I've ever laughed out loud so much while reading a book. </p>
<p>Her first book was <em>Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir), </em>and her second was <em>Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things</em>. </p>

I have those on my Kindle, but I think I need physical copies. I can't get through it even though I enjoy them. Sometimes I have to be able to really hold it though haha.
