There was no note explaining why he chose this particular book, and I'm desperate for the backstory. Is it his favourite? Is it the first book he ever read? Did it inspire him to read/write? I mentioned I don't like Sci-Fi books, so I'm curious if he thought this book is so good it will change my mind? (Like Ender's Game, which I didn't want to read, but did at my husband's request and ended up loving.) Please SS, create a fake account and tell me why you chose this title; the curiosity is killing me!

Merry Christmas!
