This book is, not surprisingly, a telling of the Santa Claus myth by the creator of the Wizard of Oz. Honestly, I've had the book for several weeks and it's still making me grin. It's the perfect book to be given and inscribed.
Don't you? This book is a book about love and kindness and giving and joy. Not only was the book a true delight that I hope to share (maybe) with my non-existent children, but it had a beautiful inscription inside. It is probably one of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever received. This book was a gift from a colleague on my last day of work in December. "If you don't know it's impossible, it's easier to do." If you'd like to read it I'm sure it can be found on Google, or you can listen to him deliver it here.

Gaiman's speech, also known as The "Make Good Art" speech was delivered to the graduates of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia in May 2012 and is full of things that I need to hear. I wonder if I'll ever get to do good work and be able to pay my bills, to work with a clear conscience and have cable. Trying to find a new job is hard, and it feels like door after door is slamming in my face. I just got laid off from my job, at the only company I've ever worked professionally. But I'm writing about it here anyway.Īt this point in my life, I've got to admit that I'm feeling less than confident in my self, my choices, and even my future. But I like that I'm asking it.Īlthough this came bound in a lovely robin's egg cover, with attractive pale yellow and bright red lettering, I'm not sure I'd consider this a book. I don't know if I have an answer for that question. Is it giving from your excess? Is it housing a homeless teenager in your home, even after he steals your digital camera and the spare cash you had lying around? Is it staying in a loveless, if not comfortable, marriage for the good of the children? Is it choosing a career that causes you to serve others constantly? The book doesn't provide a definitive answer to what it means to be good, or how exactly one might achieve the status of "good person." But it does invite the reader along on the ride to explore what makes someone good. And thus begins Katie's journey to understanding what it means to be good. He comes home one day claiming that it's all his fault, and that he hasn't been good enough. Aside from healing her husband's ailing back, GoodNews heals her husband's view on life.

She tells her angry husband she would like a divorce, which prompts an unforeseen series of events that culminates in him meeting a man called DJ GoodNews who is something of a healer. What it did do was provide some interesting food for thought about what it means to be a "good person." The protagonist, Katie is a doctor who (when we first meet her) is in the thick of an affair. I enjoyed reading it, but wasn't wowed by it.

On my last trip to my used bookstore, I found How to Be Good. I also added Fever Pitch to the list, but didn't complete it. You may remember that I read and blogged about High Fidelity last year.
