I’d love to get your input. In one month, I’m traveling to Woodstock, Vermont, to sign books and perform a reading at the Bookstock Festival of Words. I'm trying to decide which chapter to read from, with my leading candidates being: (a) Chapter 2, Micah: the discussion between Micah and the prophetic cat, or (b) Chapter 24, The Presentation of the Gifts: Melchior’s presentation of frankincense, or (c) Chapter 26, Baby Names and Divine Designations: Debating proper titles for a baby who may be divine, or (d) Chapter 27, Pa Rum Pa Pum Pum: Introducing the baby to the crowd gathered at the stable. I’m leaning toward the excerpt from Pa Rum Pa Pum Pum as I think it captures the irreverent humor of the book. For those who have read the book, which of these would you choose, or would you choose another chapter? I’d love to get your thoughts via email or on this post, whatever is easiest.
