LibrarianDest | Jan 3, 2024 |   “Our lives just feel so impossibly big to us.” “It’s really something to return home after a month away. It would seem that the world should have changed in someway, as it to say, out of courtesy, we understand your journey was illuminating insignificant, and because it affected you so, the universe, two, is making a slight but noticeable shift.” “I find that I am often moved to tears in my car, alone, listening to music. The combination of the quiet plus music plus cocoonlike detachment plus open-road reflection seems for me to be a potent mix.” (  ) bookworm12 | Mar 17, 2022 |  ) Jinjer | Jul 19, 2021 | ) Smokler | Jan 3, 2021 | ) Lisa_Francine | Aug 5, 2020 | nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life is unlike most other memoirs. It's a reference book about Amy's existence made up of very short entries of completely random Amy-related information. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes poignant. Many times she shares one of those spot-on observations about life that you've never really thought about, but know instantly to be true. For example, from the entry "BOWLING" comes this reflection: "It would be difficult to convince me that leaning has no effect whatsoever on the outcome of my bowling."
