Last week we met to discuss Maya Angelou's second autobiography, Gather in My Name. The group was amazed at the scope of Maya's life experiences in the two short years the book covers. She had an amazing array of jobs including waitress, cook, madam and prostitute. She had heartbreaking love affairs and lost her child for a short time. We were inspired by her courage and tenacity though wondered at few of the choices she made. The book left us wanting to found out how she got from that place in her life to the enormously successful, accomplished woman she is today. The book received a score of 3.
The following is a list of books for July through December 2008.
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman
