Big fan of Come from Away and it was interesting to see how the characters (or pieces of them) came together for the musical. Makes you want to visit Gander.

A great book to think about not how long you want to live, but how well you want to live.

Such a complex and talented life. It gets a little long in places, but so much to learn from this comic genius (like never read reviews of yourself).
