<i>The Wish List</i> is a quirky little gift book that sounds an irresistible call to get out there and start living. In the same chunky format as the authorfs bestselling <i>14,000 Things to Be Happy About</i>, <i>The Wish List</i> presents a compulsively readable list of unexpected goals. There are wishes large--retrace Odysseus' route around the Mediterranean--and wishes small--find a genuine arrowhead. There are artistic wishes--write a sonnet. Athletic wishes--learn to box. Practical wishes--master the rudiments of plumbing. Whimsical wishes--become a taster at Ben & Jerry's. And fantasy wishes--live in a Venetian palazzo. <i>The Wish List</i> is meant to plant seeds, jog us out of complacency, and articulate unspoken desires.<br><br>63,000 copies in print.
