 | The Year of Magical Thinking: The Play by Joan Didion
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $7.00 Amazingly, the book translates to theatre. I wonder what could be done with books such as The Secret Life of Bees or the memoir His Name Was Donn: My Brother's Letters from Vietnam.

 | His Name Was Donn: My Brother's Letters from Vietnam by Evelyn Sweet Hurd
Buy new: $16.95 / Used from: $6.83 Powerful, captivating memoir from a sister who loses the brother she idolizes. An intriguing look into 1968 and the hearts and souls of those who tried to survive. One reviewer calls it "Apocalypse Now meets The Year of Magical Thinking."

 | The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
Buy new: $9.75 / Used from: $1.55 Okay, it is a fictional memoir of sorts. I loved it. For nonfiction, read His Name Was Donn. Both are tantalizingly wonderful books.
