Not only was down-on-the-farm a novelty for some, it came as a complete culture shock for others. Very funny and well-written.

Uh...why is the Poisonwood Bible on this list? It's fiction, and when I read it, it was a pretty serious book, not very humorous.
Mallory wrote: "Uh...why is the Poisonwood Bible on this list? It's fiction, and when I read it, it was a pretty serious book, not very humorous."I agree, Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible is neither a memoir nor non-fiction (and has been removed).
Yes PleaseIs there a memoir out there that doesn't have cursing in it or is that mandatory when writing your life story? #feelingfrustrated
Can anyone recommend a clean memoir read please?
I believe there are other ways, other than curse words, that can be used to show extreme frustration in your life story. One of my chapters is about being infuriated - no cursing words are used.
These may be funny, but they are not memoirs or non-fiction:#134 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Yes. "Tea, Scones, and Malaria," by Katlynn Brooke.

Farley Mowat's books, James Herriot's books, Betty MacDonald's books, Shirley Jackson's. All WONDERFUL, and all without cursing!
So, there are at least a dozen novels on here, starting with Outlander at #100, and including the Spellman books by Lisa Lutz, Because of Winn-Dixie, Britt Marie Was Here, My Brilliant Friend, etc. Someone's going through and peppering it with books they thought were funny (though . . . Outlander? Really?) without realizing it's for nonfiction.
