I am a high school English teacher in Western New York. This began as a list books have influenced me significantly at one time or another, as well as an homage to certain memorable characters (Opus and Calvin). But that made for a rather static list, because how often do read something that influences you significantly, or meet a character you... more »

    Doctorow's voice was captivating. I didn't want to put the book down. He used the element of suspense quite well between chapters, and the plot thickened as the book went on. I liked the creation and use of the Xnet and how it bled through the entire story. I liked the "stick it to the man" fight for freedom. I found the character of Marcus/W1n5t0n/M1k3y to be believable; I saw a lot of my past students in him: the rebel, the geek, the loyal friend. It was ok. :)

    Indeed. Hunger Games was really rich. There's so much to discuss.

    Hey, just thought I would say hi. I can't wait to come and visit again, I miss everyone so much. I thought I would drop you a line to see what you have been up to. I have been trying to do as much rec reading as my school work will allow. I will have to tell you all about it when I come in again. I have off from February 28-March 8. I plan to come at least once that week if its ok with you. Just email me what blocks you are free or after school meetings if possible so i can most effectivly plan. Hope to talk to you soon. [3 always, M

    I have a question, have you ever read "My Thirteeth Winter" by Samantha Abeel?? I was wondering because I have to read it for an extra credit assigment and I was wondering if it was any good. If you could get back to me ASAP that would be great!! Thanks, [3 always M

    Oh no! I'm sorry your trip is canceled... perhaps you can take some local 1-day adventures that don't require climbing? I am planning an "adventure" to the Baltimore City central library branch this week. :)

    Hi Jeanne! Sorry to hear about your injury - hope it's better for your upcoming adventure (or maybe your adventure already started...?). I am actually reading a trashy beach-type book, but it's quite good though not what I expected: "How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls" by Zoey Dean. It would appeal to writers, people who like to observe others, etc. - it's just trashy enough where I can stand it and I don't want to put it down. :) Or, try one of my fav non fic choices from the past year, "Inside Mrs. B's Classroom" - hilarious but a bit sad, too. Stay cool!

    Hello!

    When I saw the book The Minds of Boys on your bookshelf, I thought it might be worth checking out. Since I am planning on being a high school teacher, this book may be a help to me in the future. I might even find out something that I didn't realize about myself!

    Good Morning Jeannes,
    I find you have a very interesting group of books, some I would read, yet still interesting none the less. Myself, I generally read books that leave
    me with something. Something....That's why, if ever, have a read a romance
    novel. I like real stories, books on History, you know? your story, history, My story, our -story....I consider myself an Our-storian! But more about that later. I have posted a request for friendship. I pray that you accept me.

    JASS!

    What did you think of The Bell Jar because I am considering reading it but I don't know if I will like it. You are usually a pretty good judge of the "character" of a book, so if you could get back to me soon that would be great.

    By the way, what did you think of The Bell Jar?
    I found it depressing...much like the life of Sylvia Plathe.

    Interesting! I've never heard of that book. I'll have to look into it!
    I am reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter. So far it's very good.
    I am very busy right now so I am appreciating that it's quick and easy.
    What do you teach?
    I substitute taught high school Spanish this week.
