Title: In Your Living Room with Ann Lamott
Review: If you have read anything by Lammott, you feel like you are reading many different essays on the same subject. Even her fiction reads like each chapter is a different episode of a television series. Traveling Mercies stands in this same line. After reading this book, all her wittiness, honesty and storytelling mesh together. When I think about this book a few days after having read it, I see themes appear over and over, attitudes surface here and there, and inside jokes pop up again and again. If you have read Bird by Bird or any of her fiction you will recognize Lamott's conversational style in Traveling Mercies. After reading this book, you feel like you know her, like you just had a long conversation with her in your living room.
