House of Prayer No. 2: A Writer's Journey Home by Mark Richard

3.0

This was vividly written and, for someone who often gets tired of memoirs, never boring. To be honest, some of the techniques used (second person, no discernible chapters, few character names) are not really my cup of tea. That being said, Richard hooks his reader well. This is the type of book I read in a week, and would like to leave on a park bench somewhere with a note in the margin hoping someone would pick it up and enjoy it, in all its chaos and serendipity, as much as I did.
