I was one of the many people who hadn't read non-fiction in years; I enjoyed Hillary Mantel early on - her memoir "Giving Up The Ghost" - I read essays (Joan Acocella's collection), but nothing new struck me until a (editor) friend had Sarah Bird's book on military brats "The Yokota Officers Club" and I was off. She's a Michigan-born, UNM grad [Julia Corcoran!] doing her bit to "keep Austin [TX] weird" and her other books have won me over. Sort of Molly Ivans (one of the blurbs) I'd love it if she could be considered for your book club. Her latest is "Gap Year" about a mother-daughter relationship; I'm a guy and found it like Margaret Atwood's "Cat's Eye"...
