"Lit" by Mary Karr: God has a dream for all of us.

Memoirs may be the most popular form of literature in our time. So many of them flood the bookshelves and Amazon that it is hard to know which ones to choose to spend time with. But anyone interested, as I am, in "recovery", could hardly do better than to read Karr's 2009 effort "Lit", a book that has achieved critical mass on the bestseller lists but can also be considered art in the best sense, as she teaches the reader/observer about themselves as she recounts her life story from early adulthood to middle age.

I will not go into any plot details, as I hate movie and book reviews that tell you exactly what happens. I'll just ask that you read the book and enjoy.
