3/14

I've been reading this since Sunday evening. I find this author's work a little challenging. One issue I have is his disinclination to use quotation marks. I'm so used to this convention that without it I have trouble understanding who speaking when.

Last weekend

I read this last Sunday. It was readable, but I am NOT going to go find the second one; although, it was all right, it just wasn't really very engaging.

"A" is for Awesome

Do you ever wonder what authors would think if they could read the annotations that our students put in the books? 
Read this:
Onion articleBe sure to look at the close-up of the book. I'm really tempted to dial Matt S. right now and see if it's a real number. Also, I want to know how Lincoln comes into the discussion. Has it been that long since I read it that I really don't know how it's being tied to the Civil War? Or is the student doing the annotations trying to cram the work in during History class and getting confused?

Books are the best technology ever!

...You know, except maybe for all that technology that makes books happen.

Someone posted this on Facebook. I love everything about it.

This is the cover for the new edition of 1984. I love everything about it.
