Description

It’s a mad world we live in, not least because each of us has a perfectly original story to tell. This Modern Memoirs Sampler brings that range of experience to live. From the Opium Season’s Afghan frontier to online dating chatrooms, from Tabloid Love’s search for love in New York City to an up-close-and-personal look at the devastation in Darfur, see all the fascinating ways people live their lives and become their truest selves. Find a personal story that resonates with you, and you may end up with something more than a great book.

What’s a Book Sampler?

Book Samplers combine short excerpts from different books, and they’re designed to make discovering and selecting new books on DailyLit easier. They are created around unique topics to help readers find new books in categories they enjoy. Each book installment featured in the Book Samplers contains a link that lets readers instantly access the book on DailyLit to read or send as a gift using DailyLit’s gift feature. Readers can also easily add the book to their To-Read list on the DailyLit site. Reading a Book Sampler is like browsing in your favorite section of the bookstore—it’s a fun way to find that next great book. We’ll be updating the Samplers as we get new books, so you can keep up with what’s new in your favorite categories.
