Why read it?
3 authors picked In God We Trust as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The movie was better but without this book the movie wouldn't exist. Story was real, exceptional in many ways including the humor. A fun must read.
A Christmas Story is my all time favorite Christmas movie so as a gift to myself I bought a copy of the short stories book that it was based on. Jean Shepard was a great writer and radio personality, and it comes through every page of this book. Such a great companion piece to the film.
From Carolyn's list on curl up at Christmas by the fire with hot cocoa.
I love all things nostalgic. It is merely a memory and can never truly be recaptured, or canāt it. This nostalgic look back into a world familiar and warm invites the reader to immerse themselves into a time they might find evocative.
The choices are similar, consequences no less pivotal in shaping oneās world.
From Paul's list on coming-of-age heroes facing grown up problems.
