Also ranks in my favorite books of all time, and one of the few I've read more than once already. The last time I read it, I was 17. It will be interesting to see if I still think so highly of it.
Thank You for the Music is a collection of 14 short stories all connected only by the presence of music to some extent. There's everything from a High Fidelity-esque mixed tapesession to 25-yr-old bringing home his 60-something bride to meet his parents for the first time to clowns obsessed with chicken. My personal favorite was written in the form of a letter to Bruce Springsteen.
Perfect writing for new parents to understand and feel confident in caring for their new baby! 3 cheers for Brazelton!
