Glass Castle
So we had our book club tonight... I tried to recommend The Help because I really want to read that one (that makes it sound like I can't read it if it's not a book club choice... not the case but harder to make the time for it). There were a few takers but then they settled on The Glass Castle (I hope that I remembered the name right). I can't remember the author, I didn't write it down. They said it is harsh. What is that supposed to mean. Have any of you read it or heard about it? I'm not that interested but will read it if I can get some more positive feed back on it. In the meantime, I'm going to try and find The Help.

The Glass Castle is a pretty good book,but it can be slightly disturbing too. There is a prequel to this book called, Half Broke Horses.
She (the gal recomending this book) told us about Half Broke Horses. Didn't it come out after The Glass Castle? Is it better to read Half Broke Horses first or does it matter?
I personally haven't read it, so I don't have a clue :)
While it is a little disturbing, it is also a slightly bizarre book to help you feel good about yourself as a parent. It is also inspiring to note how some characters can rise above any obstacle, despite their upbringing. In a nutshell, I liked it.
