IRB # 3 Post: The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
The book that I plan to read this marking period is The Glass Castle. This is a memoir by an author who had a very unconventional upbringing. She and her family constantly moved when she was a child, traveling from the deserts of the mid-west to Phoenix to Tennessee, often living in abandoned houses. Jeannette's mother was a free-spirited artist and her father a brilliant man who also drank and lied. One of my friend's recommended me this book, which is why I plan to read it. The author's adventures sound almost fantastical. Sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I would have an interesting upbringing like her.
