Summary: Excellent writing
Comment: So often you read a highly recommended book, even an award-winning book, and it stinks. This is why I generally read 19th century fiction....but along comes Meghan Daum and what a refreshing discovery. She is an excellent writer - clear, direct, authoritative, and very funny. It's strange in a way, to be reading about my own generation from one of its members. Her recollections of the 80's made me laugh out loud. And the essay about carpet was brilliant - I felt as though it had been written about me. She puts into words so many ideas, thoughts, and feeling that I have had but could never properly articulate. It seems that the Generation X'ers are finally getting a chance on the stage. I hope she writes about the insufferable arrogance of the baby-boomers.

Summary: The Truth will set you free
Comment: I found MY MISSPENT YOUTH almost too painful to read. Thankfully I stuck with her wonderfully written essays and can say I'm a better man for it. I too suffered at the hands of a New York City and almost went bankrupt trying to self-actualize on my creative ambitions. The big break never happened, something that never factored into the game plan. New York City, that place drives me nuts!
I just can't help but talk about my plight because what Meghan perfectly verbalized in MY MISSPENT YOUTH captures my New York experience and my twenties in ways I could never articulate. And at the root of her essays Meghan subtly answers the meaning of life. For real! That is, the meaning of life for those who failed.

Summary: oh stinky
