"Like that other wild-childhood survivor, Augusten Burroughs (Running with Scissors), Brown serves up a sharp-witted and evocative memoir of an often painful past, this one set in an Indian ashram."

1. If I promised to send you a book in the past and you have not yet received it, please email me with the name of the book and your mailing address, and I will mail it this week.
2. These books are up for grabs, not because I didn't like them, but because I absent-mindedly bought them twice. First comment gets them.
The Demon Ororon # 1 and 2. Four-volume manga by Hakase Mizuki about a lonely psychic girl and the less-than-evil demon prince who befriends her and so brings the war in Heaven down on her head. Somewhat incoherent but also charming, with unique, elongated, Art-Deco-ish art.
Danny Dunn, Invisible Boy, by Jay Williams. Beat to hell but hard to find. Fun YA scientific adventures about three kids who try out the absent minded scientist next door's inventions.
Theatre Shoes, by Noel Streatfeild. Three kids go to theatre academy. The shoe books are all out of print in the US.
The Winds of Darkover, by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Fun Darkover adventure, reviewed earlier this month.
Uncertain Magic, by Laura Kinsale. I haven't read this yet, but it's a period romance with a telepathic heroine and the one man whose mind she can't read. I must say that I find this set-up, in which telepathy means getting turned off by knowing too much, a lot more convincing than the ones where total intimacy means total love.
Dim Sum by Kit Shan Li. Pocket dim sum guide with color pictures. I was given this twice, and a thrid person attempted to give it to me, so you know it has to be good.
ETA: Into the Darkness, by Barbara Michaels. Romantic suspense about a woman who inherits a jewelry business. Lots of accurate details about antique jewelry, and an unsentimentalized Vietnam vet as the romantic lead.
