Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life From Dear Sugar by Cheryl Strayed is a collection of the letters and responses that were printed in the advice column, "Dear Sugar", from The Rumpus. The topics range from love and marriage, cheating, identity (sexual and otherwise), parenting, relation...
I have mixed feeling about this collection of letters - some inspired me and made me think (it's surreal to read about the things that happened to you objectively) and others left me unimpressed.
A great book to end the year with. A lot of these letters are very heavy and I found it too much to read very quickly this time around. But I really like Strayed's advice. She manages to be realistic and reassuring at the same time. Strayed says it best herself: "I’m not so much telling people wha...
I read nothing but good reviews of this collection, and I'm afraid that I'll do nothing but just throw another one on top of the pile.Even if you aren't the sort who likes advice columns or self help, "Sugar's" columns are so beautifully written, poignant, and compassionate that they can speak to al...
Once again, the Book Group has gotten me to read something that I would never have picked up for myself. I had heard great things about Cheryl Strayed's Tiny Beautiful Things from the folks at BookRiot, but I classified the book as "inspirational" and put it on the Nope List. I'm not sure why I have...
I’m beginning to think that Cheryl Strayed is one of the most remarkable humans I could ever know (in the figurative rather than literally knowing her personally sense). With wit and humor and wisdom and personality and so much heart you can’t stand it, Strayed, under the auspices of “Sugar,” mainta...
This book will break your heart. It broke mine. How can a collection of advice column questions and answers have such power? It’s all Sugar. By now, everyone knows that Sugar is actually the author Cheryl Strayed. This does not alter the fact that I think of her as Sugar, as an entity all her own an...
I missed these columns the first time around and agree with the sweet peas that suggested reading only a few letters at once for the best emotional impact to terms of endearment ratio but STILL, I teared up quite a few times reading this one. Quite a few.
I never read Dear Sugar on The Rumpus. I read [b:Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail|12262741|Wild From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail|Cheryl Strayed|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1354159655s/12262741.jpg|17237712] and enjoyed it, and had heard that the Dear Sugar book was...
I have become a pusher when it comes to this book, because it gives me (as they say on the internet) all the feelings. All of them, all at once. I still haven't finished "Wild," but this book, with its short, raw, loving, too-honest answers to too-difficult questions written by too-broken and oh-s...
