3/20

I gave up!

All the Pretty Horses just didn't grab me enough. Usually, I would have finished it anyway, but I have about 5 other books in line to read! It took me a week to get to page 73 in that book. I put it down, picked up Dead Until Dark this morning, and am now on page 218.

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.

March reading

February reading.

"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?
