"It is rare to find a book about the current life of an old and dying man written with this much grace, beauty and subtlety."

"I keep buying this book because I can never find my various copies (I think I've lent them all out). Thank you Anne Lamott for always making me laugh when I can't write and my head won't shut up."

"A wonderful story about growing up with a severely limited, yet fascinating and eccentric family. It's very funny and sad and most of the scenes are unforgettable. Some of them are so hard to believe—but they're real—and that makes the story even richer."

"Yes, they're three books but not really. The trilogy introduced me to this brilliant and hilarious buddha man, who was like no one else on this planet. His philosophy about life impacted me a great deal when I was in my twenties and trying figure things out."

"The darkest, most disturbing book that enthralled me as a teenager. Dostoyevsky brings the reader inside the mind of a seemly normal person who becomes tortured and ultimately ruined by a single act. Also, I was in love with the poor, tragic Raskolikov, and I think I still am."

"This book led me to all of her others and for that I am forever grateful. Her stories are cruel and sad and funny and very hard to put down. Highsmith has a very original perspective on the world—and it's not pretty. Her work is filled with fascinating sociopaths and lonely eccentrics, regular people like us revealing themselves to be sick or tortured in a variety of ways. She kind of feels like a sociologist; one who draws deeply dark and creepy conclusions."

"A relationship between a brother and a sister that spoke to me in so many ways. They have a very unique relationship and I just love well-written books about a family's unhealthy dynamics."
