My wife was so excited to see it she used scissors to cut through the package — and the cover. Our two-year-old daughter said, “Mama give Daddy’s book a boo-boo. Daddy’s book need a band-aid.” She’s so cute you should buy this book so I can buy her bon-bons. When I showed her this, she was much pleased. “You fixed your book!” Sigh. If only “fixing” one’s book it was that easy. But let’s let baby think so for a few more years. Support the illusion by pre-ordering <a href="http://books.wwnorton.com/books/Sweet-Heaven-When-I-Die/"><em>Sweet Heaven When I Die</em></a> from your local independent bookstore. <br/></span></p>http://jeffsharlet.tumblr.com/post/7731326916http://jeffsharlet.tumblr.com/post/7731326916Sun, 17 Jul 2011 15:07:53 -0400
