Authors Reveal: “The Book That Totally Surprised Me”We asked our favorite writers: What book thrilled you, surprised you or scared the living daylights out of you? See what Junot Díaz, Jenny Lawson and more had to say.
"Strangely, I remember being mildly traumatized by The Kitchen God's Wife by Amy Tan. I read it when I was probably too young to be reading it, and I confiscated it from myself after reading a particularly adult scene, handing it over to my mother and telling her, 'I'm not old enough for this yet.'"
