Hi Lauren — You’re not the only person who’s asked. I’ll start compiling the list. Ohhhh… so much to do ;)

Hello — I found your blog as I was researching books to give to MY boy as part of a rite of passage celebration. Would you mind sharing with me what some of the books were? I’m collecting spiritual writings (bible, tao te ching, etc) but am also interested in all kinds of books that stay with a person, in a life-shaping way.

Thanks so much –

Lauren Thompson

What a fantastic idea & such a loving, thoughtful gift! (And a great name.) I’d love to know what books people chose to give him.

This turned out so lovely. Liam was thrilled. And Chris found a name for it: The Book Mitzvah. Brilliant.

That’s a lovely ritual, thanks for sharing. My oldest son will be hitting 15 soon (blimey) and it seems like every teenage year is a milestone worthy of some kind of rite.
Good luck to you and Liam on the journey.

I so love the rite of passage you’ve organized Chris! Its a modern mix of intellect and affection. Right on! I’m going to have a think about the book I want to give Liam…and then you have to come get it here in Rio! Miss you. Send my love to Liam and give him a huge huge hug from me and Woody. XXOO
