To Rene Dec. 30,2009 " Wishin' and Hopin' " by Wally Lamb
I highly reccomend this book to everyone. I rate it up there with "A Christmas Story" . This book is so funny. especially anyone who was a child in the early sixties. This story is set in 1964, with a class of 5th graders from Halloween through giving a Christmas program. I could not put this book down.

[John]

I was given "Legendary Race Cars" under the tree, and with a gift certificate I bought "Gone" and "The Great Karoo".

I ended up buying myself an early Christmas gift - I bought "Playing with Fire" by the renown NHL player Theoren Fleury. I also lucked-out because he was doing a book signing at the sametime I purchased the book. (Yipee!)
