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.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Clever book for kids. I'm not really a big fan of his, but all the chicklets love his books.

Rhyming, clever writing, and a few laughs here and there. Excellent Christmas time choice.
