These two books are really a well thought-out gift. They came with a hand-written, thoughtful note where my gifter went over how Zen and the Art of Happiness helped during some challenging times. A great precursor to how this small, powerful book will read.

Then there's Kick-Ass. "May you find it ever more disturbing than the film." Heh. Another bit of foresight that speaks of how much I'll enjoy this one simply for the sake of enjoying a great graphic novel.

Thanks for the yin of life-changing philosophy and the yang of some disturbingly good reading. I really love these books and how they were presented - very special!
