Book Review
The last two books I've read have been memoirs written by men. They both were incredibly honest and both were men who've had many experiences in life, some of them quite intense, but nonetheless lifechanging experiences that turned them into who they are today. I found them completely intriguing and truly appreciated their willingness to be incredibly vulnerable and expose their weaknesses. I would recommend both as good reads and both have inspired me to continue my hunger for memoirs lately. I haven't read a memoir in the last year that disappointed. Of course, none of the memoirs I've read are by famous people which seem to be saturating the bookshelves nowadays, so it's quite possible the honesty and vulnerability I've grown to love about memoirs might be sorely lacking in that bunch.
