For the last few years my family has decided not to exchange gifts for Christmas, so it's rare that I get anything at all other than the wonderful opportunity to spend the day with loved ones.

But this year I received a gift that I'm pretty excited about—and yes, I waited until after midnight on Christmas Day to open the gift I received from a friend on Christmas Eve.

I admit I haven't had much of an opportunity to read for pleasure lately, but I'm going to do my very best to read the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. I'm excited to read the book that my friend said is his favorite book of all time.
