My Favorite Holiday Read: 

http://amzn.com/B000SGRONM 

I love this read. The story of the Macy's elf made me laugh until I a cried. Recommended read if you read if you need some help getting through the holidays!

Novel Description:

David Sedaris's beloved holiday collection is new again with six more pieces, including a never before published story. Along with such favorites as the diaries of a Macy's elf and the annals of two very competitive families, are Sedaris's tales of tardy trick-or-treaters ("Us and Them"); the difficulties of explaining the Easter Bunny to the French ("Jesus Shaves"); what to do when you've been locked out in a snowstorm ("Let It Snow"); the puzzling Christmas traditions of other nations ("Six to Eight Black Men"); what Halloween at the medical examiner's looks like ("The Monster Mash"); and a barnyard secret Santa scheme gone awry ("Cow and Turkey").

Holiday Reads for Kids:

My kids love this read. It's one of our favorites!

"The day before Christmas, snuggled on his floor, Bear sleeps soundly with a great big snore...."

Bear's friends are determined to keep Bear awake for Christmas! So they wake Bear up and have him help them find a Christmas tree, bake cakes, hang up stockings, and sing Christmas songs. Bear stays up -- by discovering that giving is one of the best Christmas presents!

    I'm going to agree with Lori - I'll have to choose either Rot and Ruin (the series) or maybe The Stand. I LOVE The Stand. Of course, I also love The Gunslinger series...

    I'd have to say Brave New World. Read it years back though. Most recently though the only other I've read in this genre is The Host and The Hunger Games series. I liked both of those as well. I don't normally read in this genre.
