Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw

by Jeff Kinney

The third installment, this book is worth reading JUST for the robe story. That may have been the funniest story within a story I've read in my entire adulthood. If you ever been a kid you should read these. Looking forward to #4.

And Alex is still working on his do-it-yourself book.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

by Jeff Kinney

Continues the story of Greg. He's not always the most likable kid -- his antics are not always nice, but they are hilarious. I had to reread the last 5 pages 3 times I laughed so hard.

A novel in cartoons -- v. cool.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

For anyone whose every been in middle school. V. funny. And for anyone with boys, they'll love it!

The Last Lecture

by Randy Pausch

Excellent. I had watched quite a lot of The Last Lecture on You Tube after seeing the Diane Sawyer interview. Everyone should read the book. He talked about living life to the fullest, he certainly did. The great tragedy is that he died before his kids could really know him. The great triumph is that he found ways to tell who he was and that he loved them.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard

By JK Rowling

The greatest writer of our times, shared some wizard tales (aka fairy tales but for the wizarding world). Excellent. Very fun and it was nice to hear from Dumbledore.

Sean loves this book. Giant horse makes an appearance as well as a donkey. He calls it a 'orse, not a dommmkey."
