I've just finished Dave Eggers somewhat autobiographical memoir. The book has a very interesting style, with the Eggers as the narrator stepping out of the storyline to speak directly to the reader.  The memoir chronicles the period of Eggers' 20s and 30s as he raises his brother Toph after the death of his parents, while pursuing a literary career, auditioning for MTV's The Real World, and perfecting the art of Zen Frisbee.  The book is somewhat chronological but does not present the events of Eggers life in a simple timeline; instead Eggers sews together poignant moments to address ideas of youth, mortality, individualism, etc.  All around a great read. I highly recommend the 26-page acknowledgements section.
