Though I often find my thoughts and internal dialogues colored by the books I'm reading, this book provided me a lens that affected me deeply. Lamott is able to be honest with her readers to a degree that is hard to achieve with one's self. I'm always fascinated with people who manage to become the kind of Christians for whom God is not "up there" but someone they talk to throughout the day (someone who has an in-box in Lamott's case).

Note: If I could fashion a little half-star and put it in the rating, I would give this book at 3.5. Miranda July: she's the lightning-rod hipster conversation of the year. I say her name at dinners and people rise from their chairs to damn or bless her. They pace and sweat and expound upon why she is the worst/best thing to happen to fiction in eons. They yell: "She's the next Lorrie Moore!" or "She's like those people who try to imitate Lorrie Moore and miss what's really good about her!" Sometimes they've actually read one of her stories or seen her movie, but sometimes they just resent her fame or adore her blog. In the bookstore, the yellow or pink jacketed hardcover book of short stories (yes, I said hardcover) beams from the bookshelf. It says, "I have no cover design. I need no cover design. And yes, my author photo went shopping at Anthropologie, then shunned all human contact (or staged this elaborate ruse)." I bought the yellow book. I was simultaneously suspicious and curious. And I STILL AM, despite having finished it. Here's the thing: Miranda July is an immensely talented writer. I want to make out with her imagination. Some of the stories ("Something That Needs Nothing," "Birthmark," "Mon Plaisir") in this collection are fabulously weird and lovely and offbeat -- and they take you to surprising emotional places. Others, however, feel a bit overwritten and unfinished. I admire her authority, but sometimes it comes across as vanity, and I get squirmy when I think an author relishes her own prose or ideas too much (takes one to know one). The things that leave me cold in July's work are the very things I worry about in my own, so this is a very personal critique. Lately, when magazines turn down my fiction, they praise my prose and voice and characters -- but they don't buy the endings or feel there is enough closure, etc., etc., so I want to know how she can fool them all and I can't? The truth is, I *loved* some of these stories. The last in the book -- "How to Tell Stories to Children" -- I would even give five stars to. But I feel let down by selections like "Making Love in 2003" and "The Boy from Lam Kien," which read like a bunch of "good line - no home" fragments pieced together. And stories like "The Shared Patio" and "The Swim Team" (the latter of which people go all kinds of crazy for) feel unsatisfyingly incomplete -- they set something up but don't go places with it. Nothing shifts. Saying this makes me feel conventional, but when I read, I want to feel *something* or be supremely aware of its absence. In these stories, July swears it's there, but it's not always. Also, I'm tiring of madwomen -- in her fiction, in my fiction, in everyone's fiction. OK, fine, I love them, but I also wonder what we're not dealing with or what kind of shortcut this is or if we think only nutjobs speak-think magical prose. "Ten True Things" and "Something That Needs Nothing" reminded me so much of my own stories (thematically and prose-ishly) that it was almost hard to read them. I felt like she was showing me everything that's glorious and horrible in my own work...everything was magnified. [Apologies to anyone who has read this far for all presumptuous, conceited, self-centered, self-analytical, self-serving comparisons above. I seek unprofessional help from anyone who wants to comment.:]

I liked this book. I now believe we should have a red tent today for women to get away with each other, no men, no kids, just us and our vaginas!

I love a book I can get into! This is an action packed book. I love Jane and Beast! What a team they make! I enjoyed the addition of Gee. With this character, Ms. Hunter was able to bring out more of Jane's character. What does Gee mean when he calls Jane Goddess? I love the small snippets of Jane's life and can't wait to get more. However, with the small memory of Jane's, maybe she shouldn't remember. Ah, but then will she be complete? And, the small incites into Beast? I do love the fact that Beast is practical and understands that together with Jane they are so much more. Still many questions that I hope get answered in the next book. What happens to her main squeeze? A more permanent relationship or will they not be able to be together due to the change? Now that Gee is back in action, what will happen with Leo's group? Is Jane done with New Orleans? Will she find her "lost" home? It's times like these when I wish I had the whole series before dwelling into the lives of the characters! But then, anticipation makes the heart grow fonder. Hurry up next book!!!

Weird..... I really wanted Ms. Hantman to read all three "episodes" because she only read the first one!

I loved the whole series. If Larsson hadn't died, I would have loved to see additional books with these characters.

Very much fluff, and completely outside my normal reading profile, but occasionally I want something with good banter, and this has that in abundance. It also has a ton of cultural tropes that I'm completely unfamiliar with, which makes for a delightful/bizarre immersion into a background alien to my own.

If you like Tina Fey and her dry sense of self-deprecating humor, then I think you'll like this book. If you don't, then...you won't. It's a funny read but also contains some good insight into her time with Second City and, naturally, SNL. A quick, worthwhile read, particularly if you like memoirs.
