#45: “The New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance” by Elna Baker
The thing that I really enjoyed about this book was that Elna Baker never traded her own values for a laugh. I’m not religious in the slightest (sorry, Catholic family members!) so the fact that Baker’s humorous memoir is about her 20s as a single Mormon woman doesn’t particularly register on my theology scale. But I’m a big advocate of being proud of your quirks and finding humor in the everyday, so I was glad to see that Baker embraced her religion and culture, turning it into this very funny piece of non-fiction.
And yes, I just put religion in the “quirks” category. But quirks are wonderful, people.
