Giveaway - Friends Like These - Danny Wallace



Subtitled:
My Worldwide Quest to Find My Best Childhood Friends, Knock on Their Doors, and Ask Them to Come Out and Play.

Do you ever wonder what happened to all those friends from long ago? Danny Wallace did...

From the publisher:
"Danny Wallace has friends. He has a wife and goes to brunch, and his new house has a couch with throw pillows. But as he nears 30, he can't help wondering about his best childhood friends, whose names he finds in a long-forgotten address book. Where are they now-and where, really, is he?Acting on an impulse we've all had at least once, he travels from London to Berlin, Tokyo, Australia, and California, risking rejection and ridicule to show up on his old pals' doorsteps. Memories of his 1980s childhood-from Michael Jackson to Ghostbusters-overwhelm him as he meets former buddies who have blossomed into rappers and ninjas, time-traveling pioneers, mediocre restaurant managers, and even Fijian royalty.Danny's attempt to re-befriend them all gives remarkable new resonance to the age-old mantra, "friends forever!"

Thanks to The Hachette Book Group I have five copies to giveaway. Ends Wednesday Sept 2/09 at 6 pm EST. Open to both US and Canada, no po boxes. Please make sure I have a way to contact you by either leaving your email or through your blog.

To be entered let me know if you're still in touch with any old friends. I still keep in touch with my oldest friend (Janice V you know who you are!) from grade 2 - not as much as we should, she's across the country - but it's still so easy to pick up where we left off every year or two when we do get together.

    I really don't keep in touch with old friends. We lost touch when I had children before they did. They just didn't get the Mommy thing.

    Through facebook, I've reconnected with a couple of old elementary school friends. I still keep in regular contact with my friend, Ron, who lives across the country now but we've known each other for 23 years now and have been best friends for 18 years.

    I still try to keep in touch with my best friend since second grade as well. We commonly lose touch for 5 or 10 years and then find one another again. Last I saw her, she was preparing to move to Germany. I'm going to try to track her down again. Whenever she comes to town, she gets in touch with my mother in order to get in touch with me, because it's easy to get in touch with my mother, but she never knows where I am.

    I haven't kept in touch with any childhood friends with the exception of one, who met when I was 10. We don't see each other much, but only live about 2.5 hours apart, so every once in a while we will get together and catch up. There's one friend in particular that I would love to know where she went, but have no idea how to track her down :)

    Hi Luanne,

    What a neat book! I also wonder what has happened to those elementary school friends. I had changed schools quite often in those days though, and I haven't kept contact with many of them.

    I do keep contact with close friends from high school, although a number of them have migrated with me to university. =)

    I did try to track 1 friend from elementary, but gosh, I've almost given up.

    Thanks for hosting this giveaway. =)

    I've moved a lot in the last 20 years and made new friends along the way. The friend that I have stayed in touch with the longest was a friend since grade 4 (30 years) although there can be a few years between contact we just pick up wherever we left off. Fun

    I recently got in touch with friends from high school - we are having a 35 year reunion in September and I have not seen anyone from high school for about 32 years! There is definitely a special bond you share with the people who knew you in the years when you were discovering who you are.

    I live across the country from where I grew up, but facebook is magical! All of a sudden people I barely remember are back in my life! Most of my high school class is on facebook, and quite a few people from my elementary school, plus church friends from when I was 4yo and my first "boyfriend" as a toddler in Bangladesh (my parents were missionaries there until I was almost 4).

    unfortunately, we moved around alot when I was a kid, so it just became the norm to not have many friends... Now that I'm a mom, I've pretty stubbornly refused to completely uproot my children... they actually have friends that have been 'with them' nearly their entire lives... at 18... 14 years of friendship is a big deal and not to be dropped easily!

    I'm not very good about keeping in touch. I did find a childhood friend through work several years ago -- I was browsing the email address book when we first got it and ran across her name! Sent her an email and we reconnected for quite a while. I got remarried six years ago, and she's still unmarried (and has a lot more money than we do) so we have drifted apart again. I do still have her email.
    Every so often I Google people from my childhood, so I do know where a few are, but haven't contacted them because it sounds a little too much like stalking!

    She is really the only one from my school years that I keep in contact with though. It would be nice to see how the others are doing.
    Thanks for the chance!

    Unfortunately I don't keep in close contact with a lot of old friends -- moving for college and then grad school has made it difficult to stay in touch with pals from high school. However, my mom works as a nurse in my hometown, so she manages to see a lot of my old classmates who pass through, so I at least have indirect contact with many of them. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of this book - it sounds fantastic!

    The friend I have known the longest - which is 11 years, we still talk and hang out on a regular basis. Infact, we had dinner tonight!

    Back in the day before Facebook & the internet, if you remember, there was a such thing as Pen Pals. I`ve still got a few of them. They get great letters written on great stationary!

    I really don't keep in touch with old friends from school. I have recently had some contact via Internet because we had our 30th (ugh!!) high school reunion this year.

    The book sounds great - thanks for a chance to win.

    and the best thing is, posting pics from when they were teens LOL...esp when the guys USED to have big hair and now have none!!!

    It's hard to stay in touch with people when your family is constantly moving... Facebook has certainly helped me reconnect with my old childhood friends and like the character in this novel, I was a child of the 1980's... so there are many nostalgic instances of the same nature. Please accept this as my entry.
