Since we are good for September and October, I am going to jump in for November. I'd like to submit for your consideration Everything Matters! by Ron Currie, Jr.
Here is what Amazon says:
The day that Junior Thibodeau is born, he learns the exact moment when the world will end. Knowledge of the pending apocalypse (bestowed by an omniscient, unnamed "we" that gently nudges him toward his destiny) colors Junior's entire existence and leaves him wondering: "Does anything I do matter?" Unfolding through funny, poignant, occasionally tragic stories told by Junior and his family, Everything Matters is thoughtful and unexpectedly sweet, and will keep you thinking long after the story is over.
I don't have a back-up suggestion as of now, but if this is a no-go I will look around.

Sounds good, Keiko!
ReplyDeleteI think this would be great, especially since it will be around Thanksgiving and appears to be about appreciating the little things in life.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
