Me Talk Pretty One Day
by David Sedaris

This peculiar and amusing memoir is full of anecdotes, musings, and stories from the author’s life. The book features precisely zero major triumphs or victories. This all-over-the-place memoir is especially fun to listen to on audio, as narrated by the author himself.

Are You My Mother?
by Alison Bechdel

The author delivers her second memoir in an equally visually stimulating graphic form. Where her previous novel Fun Home told the story of Bechdel's relationship to her closeted father, this one discusses her relationship to her mom. This one, certainly, must not be overlooked.
