10.12.2010

its all about words strung together today.
its all about getting lost in a good book.
its all about not being able to put it down.
its all about actually looking forward to quiet time.
its all about reading just because you want to, not because you have to.

nathans been waiting for this book for a long time &
yes, i was at barnes & nobles bright and early to pick it up for him.
(no budget when it comes to kids begging for a new book!)
colin and i are reading this classic together.
(we are actually listening to this one on a playaway
from the school library.
where we these things when i went to school?)
nothing is better then sharing an earbud with a third grader.
we are on chapter 19....and i didn't see that coming with old dan.
my latte money today was spent on this 4.00 pile.
350 calories or 1000 pages?
easy pick.
love the library book sale.
3 pulitzer winners & 1 charleston book.

"read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted;
nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.
some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed,
and some few to be chewed and digested:
that is, some books are to be read only in parts,
others to be read, but not curiously, and some few
to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention."
