I Had Brain Surgery, What's Your Excuse?

I was acting receiving clerk yesterday at the bookstore when this little doozy came across the desk. Before the end of my shift at the sales counter, I had read 40 pages. This lady is hilarious. I laughed out loud several times as she described discovering that she had a brain tumor.

I really like creative memoirs. One of my favorites is Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life. Suzy Becker's memoir, while not exactly an upper, is definitely unique and worth reading. The illustrations definitely add a lot of character to an otherwise depressing story.
