Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? by Jeanette Winterson.

Winterson is already well known for her incredible novels. In this memoir, she tells the true story of being adopted and raised by very strict Pentecostal parents. Language is one way she survives, and much of this memoir is a love letter to literature.
