Beginnings

Welcome friends! I have started this entry in the global technosphere because I have been in love with books since the age of 2. Among the busy business of being a new teacher, this is my outlet for sharing thoughts on a love of reading a wide variety of books. My inspiration can be summed up with a yearbook quote from a teacher written when I was 8: "To the only girl at recess I see reading a book. Good for you!"
My blog title is quoted from a classmate who asked me this once. Believe it or not, I've also heard it as a teacher :D

  2. I've never read the Updike Rabbit books but my husband has.

    The Kite Runner was amazing, and I have heard great things about Middlesex but haven't gotten to it myself yet.

    Enjoy your books this week!

  3. Yay for The Kite Runner! Once you finish it, "A Thousand Splendid Suns" is also great! Plus you have "Middlesex" ahead of you--what a richly textured and beautiful book, in a totally quirky and unusual way.

    PS - My husband, who never reads, loved Rabbit, Run, so go figure.
