Summary: NOT Chicken
Review: This is definitely not Chicken Soup and i couldn't be happier. I'm forcing myself to read this book slowly so the stories can soak in. These are REAL stories written by REAL people, not cheesy forwarded email drivel. The texture of so many voices, so many perspectives, so many characters is just wonderful. Anyone looking for fairytale endings is going to be disappointed, but if you're interested in hearing what touches the minds and lives of your fellow humans, this is a treasure trove.

Summary: We all need a good story from time to time...
Review: We can all view our lives by the arcs they take or the sparks that dot it along the way. Each is revealing. Arcs talk about planning and trajectory while the sparks light the way. Reading through "I Thought My Father Was God" is a trip fully lit by these sparks. Not all the stories are beautifully written, but each expresses those moments in life where we must step back, awed by the majestic, the funny, the sad, the desperate, the joyful, and the inexplicable. These moments belong to all of us. Reading these stories, we recognize ourselves, our moments great and small, our hopes and despair, and ultimately, our humanity. Get this book. Pick it up when you need a laugh, some hope, or a spark of wonder. It will touch you in unexpected ways.
