Rating: - Fabulous Look Inside A Writer's Life
This little book is so much more that the sum total of its parts. Even though it is based on a commencement address she gave (don't let this put you off from reading it!), it is also a wonderful, compact, beautiful, tiny guide to life. I read it in one sitting because I could not put it down.

I love Ms. Patchett's books and was thrilled to get a glimpse into her own story, her path to becoming the great writer and person that she is. It is so true that, ultimately, life IS the best teacher. I'm so glad I found this on my library's shelf. It would make a fabulous gift to give to friends and loved ones for any occasion.

Rating: - Learning to stare at Fridays
Ann Patchett is one of my favorite authors. I loved her description in this book of how she discovered how to be one. Learning to stare figured into that and the now habit of staring also delayed her decision to get married for many years. "I just couldn't imagine living in a house with another person when so much of my life was spent sprawled across the sofa eyes wide open, saying nothing at all."

This book is short, but full of words to live by with thanks for those who have guided her way. It is delightfully highlighted with many photographs.

Rating: - Great book for retreats
We used this book for a staff retreat, to get conversation going about ourselves and the college students with whom we work. A short read that staff won't groan about with limited time to complete it, funny and inspiring, thought-provoking as well. Recommend highly.
