Reader Challenges - What's Your Sentence?
Each morning, just breathe, and begin to live.
Reader Challenges - Your Words That Matter
Lots of sex and books. The only ways to live.
Banned Books Books - The Exile of Classics from Schoolrooms
While the classrooms are devoid of words necessary to propel young minds into new, great possibilities, I hope there are students at those desks who started reading at 2 years old, like I did, or at least a year later than that. Those are the ones on whom I pin my hopes that the next generation will carry on our own work with love and honor.
Question of the Week - What gets you up in the morning?
Books. All the stacks of books in my room, the books near my bed that I'm currently reading, the ones in my reading list, the ones buried in my reading list, and the ones that I haven't discovered yet that I'll inevitably bump into while searching for another book either on Amazon or on my local library website.
And writing, especially editing the words I wrote the previous day.
Reader Challenges - 6 Word Autobiography
Born into writing and aviation enthusiasm.
Etc. - Question of the Week #17: Why do you DailyLit?
Oh, and I'm reading Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom for the second time. I was born and raised Disney, so that's part of it (when I was growing up, my family and I lived so close to the area that we went to Walt Disney World every weekend and sometimes during the week just for dinner), and also how accessible Doctorow makes his brand of science fiction. I'm even thinking of buying a physical copy, which always happens when I find myself going back to a book either online or from the library two or three times more.
Etc. - Question of the Week #17: Why do you DailyLit?
I tried twice to read "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" at different times, when I checked it out from my local library. Might have been a month or a year apart, I'm not sure. I'd given up both times because other books had gotten in the way and at the time, I hadn't really been feeling what Cory Doctorow was offering. Then I found out it was available for free online, somehow came upon this site to read it, and got hooked.
Scroogled - Medioker at best
Can't trust the judgment of someone who can't spell a simple word like "mediocre." Sorry.
