Whatcha Readin', Books?: A Teacher/Learner's Blog: Which Authors Would You Dine With?

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

Which Authors Would You Dine With?

Great question posed by Ukkiwibookgirl! The authors may be living or long dead. I would add to this question where you would meet, what you would eat together and what you would talk about or maybe read together (though most authors probably wouldn't want to read their own work, I'll pick one of their novels). This sounds like fun :oD

Here are my selections (in no particular order of preference):

1) John Steinbeck
Where: Somewhere in the Midwest
Read: East of Eden
Discuss: Economic crisis as compared to Depression era in The Grapes of Wrath
Eat: Pancakes
