I have read Glass Castle though, so you might have to dig for a Fabio-covered romance to share. Or, you know, something better. Yay for books that make us vomit. :) I will gladly send it (or bring it) to you when Mark is finished. I have read Glass Castle though, so you might have to dig for a Fabio-covered romance to share.

Did all that Disney magic make us long for something less cheery? Something to ponder... I don't have anything post-apocalyptic to recommend, but I do have to recommend a great nonfiction book, The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls. As a parent, it made me sick to my stomach. As a daughter, it made me appreciate my mom infinitely more. And as a person, it made me marvel at the resiliency and innate determination of children to survive and thrive, even when faced with horrific neglect. Mj, wanna do a book swap? :-) So funny that you wrote this - I was thisclose to picking up The Road while I was in Orlando. Did all that Disney magic make us long for something less cheery?
