Im not a people person. Thats my first line at job interviews.It would be more accurate to say that Ive never been interested in autobiographies. Or biographies, for that matter. I suppose I exalt imagination over reality and never desired to learn something from the actual lives of others. Dont try this at home? Id rather take my chances. And I never succumbed to hero-worship, either, wanting to know what they were like if such a thing has any meaning. So how did I end up reading a memoir?A fewMusical Chairs is a surprising book. Lots of dry humor and odd circumstance. I recommend it.
Musical Chairs (Jen Knox)Memoir. This is the story of a young woman Jen, who runs away at age 15. It is not just a "run-a-way teen" story, but one that reflects on a family. A family that has dealt with mental health issues for generations. Also set in a rough part of Columbus Ohio, young Jen tries to escape the "big city" life (poverty and crime).She soon turns to alcohol, numerous jobs leading to strip-dancing. There she tells of the hardships, horrors , fast money and fast times. As she goes

Musical Chairs is a surprising book. Lots of dry humor and odd circumstance. I recommend it.
Everyone has their own walk through life to take, how they choose to take that walk and how one deals with the consequences of their choices I believe shows a persons true strength of character. After everything Jen had endured during her life, Jen definitely is a woman of high character and strength. Musical Chairs is a great book for everyone to read. Young woman who pick up this book will think twice about the choices they will be making soon in their own lives.It is a deep book revealing
I look at some of the books on my actual real life to-read shelf and say why are you there? I cant remember buying you. How did you get here? Answer me! Did the author break into my house and leave this book here? But I dont think Jen Knox did that, I think she lives in Ohio. Its a long way from Ohio to Nottingham. Of course she might have been in England for a holiday. But I think I got this in the wake of reading Candy Girl : A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper by Diablo Cody and Live
Jen kindly sent me a copy of this book to review, and I zipped through it in a couple of days. The story begins in an AA meeting, and it reads rather like a series of episodes told in front of an AA audience. I also have an addictive/compulsive personality, so I'm sympathetic; the AA sequences in Infinite Jest were the part I liked best. When you've fucked up big-time, sharing the experience with other people seems to be a positive thing to do. Maybe I should try this, but it's not as easy as it
