Occasionally, when I happen to find a hardcover copy of McLean's Vinyl Cafe books, I'll always grab them. I've been listening to, or reading his Vinyl Cafe stories for twenty years now and, while I always remember the funny ones, it's always the poignant ones that catch me off guard.

I love these stories. McLean talked about "the importance of being unimportant" and that's what these disarming stories all have in common. They're just the funny, strange, weird, or heart-tugging stories that you'll hear from your friends and co-workers, but McLean puts this lovely polish on them that makes them so comforting, you can't help but smile after each one.

I miss Stuart McLean. ( )

It's as pleasurable to read the Vinyl Café as it is to listen to the show. This series focuses more on Sam as he turns from a boy to a young man. Unlike other youth, Sam loves food and has a mentor to guide him into his calling. With the antics of his colourful friend Murphy, the two live through both hilarious and touching moments. Another delightful compilation. ( )
