Holiday Reading?

[Lady Bug]

Does anyone ever do any "holiday-themed" reading? I usually don't, but this year I decided to pick up Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris.

What about you?

Do you want traditional, feel-good type holiday reading? Because there's a book called "The Stupidest Angel" by Christopher Moore that's really funny and screwball but not exactly... heartwarming.

There's always "A Christmas Carol" for traditional reading. And John Grisham apparently has a Christmas story that's quite different from his usual lawyer books.

Oh I wasn't looking for recommendations, but those all sound interesting!

[Crystal Meth]

Oh well... pshaw!

I've been meaning to read the Grisham book (Skipping Christmas) for years now. Unfortunately, it's never at the library around Christmastime!

ETA: Holy cow... I just checked my library's website and they actually have multiple copies on the shelf right now! I think I'll swing by the library after my little quizzie-poo tomorrow, as reward for all of my hard work

Wait - isn't that book a movie now? With Jamie Lee Curtis and Tim Allen?

[chickenlittle]

I don't know who's in it, but it is a movie. The movie looked a little too cheesy for me, though, so I think I'll just stick to the book!

[Spudd]

Yeah, the movie was called "Christmas with the Kranks".

I heard the book wasn't that good. (And the movie too, for that matter.)

I just finished the book --- it was a quick, enjoyable read. It certainly would never go on my Top 10 Favorites list, but it was a nice way to pass the evening There were a few comments in there that were a bit strange, though... I'm curious if anyone else would pick up on them.
