Shattered Glass

From: kenneth in the (212)

I just finished reading Jeannette Walls' fascinating memoir "The Glass Castle." The book details her bizarre (putting it mildly) upbringing at the hands of two incredibly brilliant but deeply disturbed Bohemians who end up homeless while Jeannette and her siblings find success.

If you're not familiar with Walls, she was the feisty gossip columnist behind The Scoop on MSNBC.com.
