The book I got

IMG_1250I just received A Charlie Brown Religion, Stephen J. Lind’s look at the spirituality in Schulz’s work and in his life. And I really want to read this, it’s the book I’ve been most looking forward to for months.

But I’ve got a press interview today to prepare for. And a Kindle book that needs to be uploaded tomorrow, and some comics reprints I have to format for another publisher. And a brief article on Schulz and bridge to write up. And a comic strip reprint book that needs to have its layout corrected and then be uploaded for printing. And there’s this movie I’ve got to see Friday.

I’ve got too many gottas for my wanna at the moment!

Anyway, if reading this book is something you wanna or gotta do, it’s shipping now. You can order it here!

A needle-ssly fine present
