Author's Note

Donald Miller is the greatest living author (and Bill Simmons is second). Here's the authors note from Donald Miller's latest book (A Million Miles in a Thousand Years):

"If you watched a movie about a guy who wanted a Volvo and worked for years to get it, you wouldn't cry at the end when he drove off the lot, testing the windshield wipers. You wouldn't tell your friends you saw a beautiful movie or go home and put a record onto think about the story you'd seen. The truth is, you wouldn't remember that movie a week later, except you'd feel robbed and want your money back. Nobody cries at the end of a movie about a guy who wants a Volvo.

But we spend years actually living those stories, and expect our lives to feel meaningful. The truth is, if what we choose to do with our lives won't make a story meaningful, it won't make a life meaningful either.

Here's what I mean by that..."

Follow-up: I just finished the book. Excellent -- certainly in my top 10 all time. Grade: A
