Book Review: The Sociopath Next Door

The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Repetitive. Interesting concepts, but the case studies were odd and sometimes it was hard to see what the author was trying to demonstrate.

Born Standing Up

Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life by Steve Martin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you''ve read Shopgirl, you know that Steve Martin writes gorgeous sentences, and this autobiography is no different. Perfect writing. Very interesting history of his life and how he built his comedy, in no small part by practicing and working it out over time. I felt it could have been better to see more of his home life, his marriage (s?)? Does he have children? Yes, he writes about being a private person, but I expect those details when I pay to buy and read a bio.

Spicy Garlic Sriracha Shrimp

This is a SUPER-FAST and delicious recipe requiring a few simple ingredients.
My son and I made it tonight. We ate it with some French bread and it made a great meal!
Thanks to Laura's Best Recipes for this one!

Lost Memory of Skin by Russell Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'd give this 4 1/2 stars. I loved the characters and I'm sad it's over. But I felt like the end did not neatly end (I don't need happy endings but there are some loose ends). Good writing and very interesting setting and topic.
