Multitasking at its best!

When my son was born recently I found I needed two things in my reading materials: The book had to be light enough to hold with one hand while nursing, and the plot had to be easy to follow in the middle of the night. Anne Lamott's Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year fit the bill. Lamott's frankness about parenthood is tender, funny and reassuring. Her conversational writing style is both charming and witty. This was the perfect book to read in the first few weeks of my son's life, and a book that will strike a chord with many parents.
