This is the one about books.
Posted December 26th, 2009 by Mike Lawson
For Christmas this year I received a grip of books! Daniel bought me:
- Pygmy by Chuck Palahniuk
- Drama Queers by Frank Anthony Polito
- A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennesse Williams
My sister bought me:
- Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Daniel’s sister bought me:
- Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer
And I also got a Barnes & Noble gift card. Yeah! 2010 is the year of the book!

I have had Lovely Bones sitting on my bookshelf unread for a few years now. After reading your post, I just got up and put it on my reading table. Time to read it!
I read Into Thin Air many years ago, but I will never forget it.
Enjoy your books!

I just finished reading Whatever It Takes…and I have to say, even more definitely than before, you really should read this book. It was fantastic, heartbreaking, and uplifting all at once.

Kaci, I’ve added Whatever it Takes to my Amazon wishlist…I’ll get to it.

Sweet. Of all the people I know, I think you will totally get it.

Thumbs up for the Lovely Bones! Did you like “Into Thin Air”? Sounds like a good read but I’d rather climb Mount Everest’s summit myself than read about someone elses adventure!
