700 Sundays

Billy Crystal

There are very few books that I would recommend to everybody I know. This book fits into that rare category. Billy Crystal adapted this book from his very successful one man show with the same title.

700 Sundays refers to the time he spent with his father before his father died. This a very funny, warm, and moving story about how Billy Crystal grew up, his relationship with his family, and it captures the essence of life for a baby boomer.

The book is very short and very sweet. It will make you laugh and make you cry. It is a real “feel good” experience, and I think everyone wants to feel good.
