Life Among the Savages
Life Among the Savages - Shirley Jackson
I read this because my book-a-day calendar last year made it sound pretty funny. And I loved "The Lottery" and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, so I thought it would be neat to read something by Shirley Jackson that wasn't freaky or disturbing. It reminded me of Please Don't Eat the Daisies by Jean Kerr. Funny, domestic anecdotes of the Leave it to Beaver period (okay, it may have been a different era, but it reminds me of the Beaver). An easy, droll read for mothers to remind us that families are chaos.
