LOL!!! Loved it! I’ve been wanting to write a very serious and sappy comment declaring that Flannery O’Connor and the summer reading club changed my life, but you guys have just killed it! Oh, the terrible, crushing, beautiful and holy speed of mercy! Looking forward to reading the biography. And Leonard is already a favorite. Especially like Ever and Always and Firstborn Son.

Only at the Rabbit Room does dorkiness pass for coolness. Which is why I like it. Rock on, dude! And…er…read on, Leonard.

Love the vid. Definitely a great laugh. But on a serious note, quite excited to read this book and Osenga’s album is a favorite this year. Both are worth your time and money!
