Let's Play Oprah...

Okay....I know a lot you out there are currently reading this.


If you've read it, I'd love to know your thoughts on it. I've got a lot of my own, but I really would like to know what you think.

However, if you're out there and you're not finished with it, we will wait for you.

Just type a comment w/ something like:

"Todd...I'm almost done with the book. Please hold the discussion until I am done."

And I will.

Because here at Todd's Blog, readers are king. Or...kings.

Readers are THE kings.

That doesn't sound right.


Here at Todd's Blog, readers are the kings and queens...of the blog...kinda. But not really.

Wow...this has just turned horrible, hasn't it?

The Weirdest Blurb In History...

Yes, I'm reading The Shack.

Yes, Johnny is giving me grief about ti.

And, yes, I have lots of different thoughts about the book so far. (Maybe we'll do a book-discussion post once I finish it...)

But for now, the thing I can't get away from is the strange author's bio line on the back of the book:

"WILLIAM P. YOUNG was born a Canadian and raised among a stone-age tribe by his missionary parents in the highlands of what was New Guinea. He suffered great loss as a child and young adult, and now enjoys the 'wastefulness of grace' with his family in the Pacific Northwest."

What?

In all honesty, I thought that bio was a joke when I first started reading it. It's vague and weird and really contains non-information. Born a Canadian? Suffered great loss? Lives somewhere in the Pacific Northwest?

Who is this guy, Salman Rushdie? They can't be more specific?

Anybody else find it to be weird?
