Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith by Anne Lamott
Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith

beautifulbookworm, January 28, 2010

This book changed my life. Seriously. Lamott puts down on paper things I felt and couldn't find the words to. Words can't say how much I love her confessional voice and humor, her reverence and irreverence, her ability to magnify imperfections simultaneously showing their frailty and beauty... She is such an awesome chick too, so funny and honest. I met her and talked with her a few times throughout the years. The last time, I chatted with her at a reading she offered me her popcorn! At first, I thought of Elizabeth Gilbert's book, Eat, Pray, Love, because I loved that book too and read that more recently. Gilbert has a confessional voice too. However, we're talking a decade here, and Anne Lamott, for me at least is the queen.
