An American Childhood is Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Dillard's poignant, vivid memoir of growing up in Pittsburgh, Pa., in the 1950s. I have had this book since I was in college in the late 1980s and it was recommended by one of my English professors. I will finally get around to reading it, thanks to BookCrossing.

Journal Entry 3 by wingAnonymousFinderwing on Friday, August 24, 2007
Actually I had to bail the poor little book out of the St. Vincent Depaul thrift store, even though it still had the hot pink sticker on the front that reads "I'm not lost! I'm FREE!" It was worth the few cents I paid for it. It had only traveled 2 blocks!
I had read the book years ago and loved it. I grew up 40 miles southwest of Pittsburgh. I was born four years after the author.
I plan to read it again & then release it...somewhere in Pittsburgh!
