I am a big fan of Garrison Keillor’s “A Praire Home Companion”, so when I see his Lake Wobegon novels, I will sometimes pick one up to read. The latest book I read by Garrison Keillor is called “A Christmas Blizzard.” I thought it would be fun to read at this time of year.

The book is part “A Christmas Carol,” and part “It’s a Wonderful Life.” A rich, cynical man who hates Christmas and doesn’t seem to appreciate anything he has, is given 24 hours to rethink his life, while stuck in a Blizzard in his hometown in North Dakota.

It is an amusing, easy read. I like Garrison Keillor, so I enjoyed it.

But if you’re looking for a really good book, by a very cynical man who doesn’t like the holidays, try “Holidays on Ice” by Davis Sedaris. It is hilarious. 

Personally, I have come to love the holidays, so I need to find something a little less cynical to read next………..
