Have you read a heartbreaking work of staggering genius?

If you hadn't noticed, the quote on the home page is from that book. It's an excellent read, and I highly recommend it.

  • I had to read it in high school, it wasn't really my style... but I do know a lot of people who loved it. It's a very unique story, but quite depressing.

      • It's essentially Dave Eggers telling the story of his young life. Losing both his parents to illness, moving to California, raising his younger brother and becoming a writer. Sometimes he rambles a little bit, but lots of great stories along the way.

  • I haven't yet because it mirrors the life of a friend from school and I think it would upset me. But another friend read it and thought it was one of the best books she's read.
