Not much going on here at Germantown. Mom and I read the Blog together and we always enjoy reading.
Concerrning good books, there is no treasure on earth like them. Age surely slows down one’s reading. Keep at it while you casn be productive.

i’m reading What Was I Thinking by Steve Brown (for our girls Bible/book study thing), Echoes by Maeve Binchy (one of those spur of the moment Target buys..) and Stiff by Mary Roach (a book about cadavers that Donovan told me I should read cuz he knew id like it) I quit reading anything but textbooks in nursing school cause i didnt have a choice, but before that I’d always have my nose stuck in a book. I’m sure you remember! I’m trying to get back into it though cause i just love to read!

What am I reading now? The latest book in my guilty pleasure series, An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon. I’m also reading Stephen King’s latest book of short stories and a book of poems called the T-Rex and the Corduroy Kid. My favorite book of all time is Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns, and I have a Top 20 list I keep just for fun. Reading is like a drug for me, the ultimate escape. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one!

I tend to read several at one time, so I have one next to the bed (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets), one in the lounge room (The Easy GI Diet), cookbooks in the kitchen, Pride and Prejudice (I just love that book!) in the toilet (it’s a separate room here), the Bible at my desk, and a book called Greeniology in the guest bedroom. And I have been seen reading a book while brushing my teeth. For my daughters’ first birthdays, I took them to the library and got them their own library card. So we’re a bit of a bookish family. My favourite thing I’ve ever read? A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I just burst into tears at the climax of the story, every single time.

I love to read! I am going to have to get all the books on your list. I’ve read a few by Chris B. but not either of those. If you start a book club, I’m in.

Also, Emily and I had one of our first blog-planning meetings at the Germantown Public Library!! Epic!

As a kid likely to get beat up or (the girl equivalent) be shunned, books offered me such comfort and companionship as a kid. I absolutely understand what you mean. Oh, and Prodigal Summer would be in my top 5 books of all time and its about NC! I’m in between books, but may go back and read Michner’s Chesapeake again.
