I think I'll re-read it now that we're leaving home again - this time back to Utah, away from Minnesota. I know it will have richer meaning now that I...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50575326">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Leaving Home was a great collection of Keillor's News from Lake Wobegon.  Unlike Lake Wobegon Days, where it is a more or less linear history of the town, this is a simple collection of many of his stories from A Prairie Home Companion.

I found this book, which is basically a compilation of Prairie Home Companion stories which hit on themes of home, to be a fun little read.

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoy listening to Garrison Keillor on NPR and it's just as enjoyable reading his Lake Wobegon tales. This is great reading for a snowy sunday afternoon.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Read &quot;The Royal Family&quot;--probably the best and most tragic story I've ever heard, when read aloud by Garrison Keillor during one of his &quot;New From Lake Wobegon&quot; monologues, but in printed form it feels a bit lackluster without Keillor's voice.

    <body><![CDATA[This author can't write.  It's a series of mixed-up ramblings.  Read a few chapters and don't recall any porn in that bit but his writing is terrible.  Can't wait to dispose of these in the shredder, fire or the like.<br/><br/>2/22/09 - had a fire with it yesterday.  Burned up well.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is fun to read out loud, in my best Garrison Keillor voice -- not really, but I do read it out loud to my daughter and she invariably falls asleep.  But, I love it and it makes me laugh.  I do wonder, though, if you'd have to have lived in the Midwest to get all of the humor?  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Sweet, charming, funny and a little embarrassing at times, but just what you expect if you're a Keillor fan, and what I used to love about him, before he became a cranky old coot political essayist and before there was all the brouhaha about &quot;A Prarie Home Companion.&quot; ]]></body>
