I read so much that it's hard for me to pick a favorite author. Maybe picking a favorite author from various categories, but still, it would be quite difficult. Emily Bronte, R.D. Robb, C.S. Lewis, Lois Lowry, Stephen Ambrose, Tom Clancy, John Grisham. Then I read this article about college (yes, that's college) students not being able to list any authors other then Dan Brown. So at breakfast this morning, the Singer says, "Mom, did you see the article about those kids not knowing any authors?" "Yea, I did." Then she and the Imp proceed to list their favorite authors (each had more than 3). My girls read a lot, too. Is there anything else better than curling up in a big chair with a good book on a rainy afternoon? I don't think so. If I hadn't taught school, I would swear that these articles are made up, but I know all too well that many people today don't read (except txt msgs and blogs). The excuse is no time. The answer...turn off the T.V. (or computer or whatever other electronic device you are playing with).
As it is overcast and a Saturday, I think I'll go curl up with my current library book, Glory in Death.

You and the girls simply HAVE to read The Gospel According to Larry. It's in the young adult section at the library.
Thanks for the recommendation. We'll check it out.
