june: 14 & 15

two more good reads:

priestdaddy, by patricia lockwood (i found this on a list of the best memoirs of the last 20 years and was intrigued by the idea of a married man (lockwood's father) becoming a catholic priest.  this memoir is about that and not about that, and i liked her writing style a lot - it's what makes the story so intriguing and the memoir so enjoyable to read.  if you're into memoirs (like i am) or if this topic interests you, i'd definitely recommend this, but if memoirs aren't your favorite genre, this is one you can skip.)

happy-go-lucky, by david sedaris (i was lucky to see david sedaris in person in pittsburgh this spring and was eager to pick up his next book (this one) and was able to get it from the library as an audiobook.  about half the stories on the audiobook are live recordings and i liked getting the audience reaction.  this book, like all is books, was a great read!  he's so good at telling a story.)
