The Book of Awesome

The Book of Awesome: Snow Days, Bakery Air, Finding Money in Your Pocket, and Other Simple, Brilliant Things
By Neil Pasricha
Amy Einhorn Books/G. P. Putnam’s Sons, 2010. 393 pgs. Nonfiction

The author of 1000awesoemthings.com, a blog that celebrates the simple pleasures in life, has compiled some of his posts into this collection of life’s little treasures. While I didn’t find every one of Pasricha’s “Awesome” things equally awesome, like “Putting Potato Chips on a Sandwich” or “Talking About How Much the Meal You’re Eating at Home Would Cost in a Restaurant”, others succeeded in bringing a huge smile to my face like “The Smell of Crayons” and “Remembering What Movie that Guy is From.” A fun little book filled with happy moments.
