Friends Like These Giveaway

What with Halloween coming up and my thoughts turning to the packs of kids with whome I used to roam the neighborhoods of my childhood, I thought the subtitle to this one was entirely appropriate: My Worldwide Quest to Find My Best Childhood Friends, Knock on Their Doors, and Ask Them to Come Out and Play. So I decided to run the giveaway of Friends Like These by Danny Wallace that the uber-generous folks at Hatchette Book Group have told me I can do.

And if you are skeptical about my reasoning, check out what amazon says:

Danny Wallace has friends. He has a wife and goes to brunch, and his new house has a couch with throw pillows. But as he nears 30, he can't help wondering about his best childhood friends, whose names he finds in a long-forgotten address book. Where are they now-and where, really, is he?

Acting on an impulse we've all had at least once, he travels from London to Berlin, Tokyo, Australia, and California, risking rejection and ridicule to show up on his old pals' doorsteps. Memories of his 1980s childhood-from Michael Jackson to Ghostbusters-overwhelm him as he meets former buddies who have blossomed into rappers and ninjas, time-traveling pioneers, mediocre restaurant managers, and even Fijian royalty.

Danny's attempt to re-befriend them all gives remarkable new resonance to the age-old mantra, "friends forever!"

How could you not want to read a memoir written by a guy who is searching out the people with whom he watched and played Ghostbusters? Seriously. "Who ya gonna call?" Danny Wallace of course.
