I'm retired! Now maybe I'll have time to read! I was a school library/media specialist. That gave me an opportunity to share my love of books and reading with young people and gave me immediate access to so many wonderful books for children and young adults. I could not have had a more rewarding career. Now I am aware of time getting short. ... more »

    Sorry it took so very long to accept you request. I have been very busy with the synagogue, writing a new book and making personal appearances with Zeyde.
    Here is just a sample of what we've been doing:

    A poor scribe, that I like to fancy a writer, perhaps even the one who inspired me as a callow lad and whose motto graced my high school yearbook entry: "I shall endeavor to enliven morality with wit and to temper wit with moralty." --Joseph Addison

    Thanks for asking. Of course, AMDG remains my noblest aspiration.

    I have just finished book #14, only 1 more to go. What ethnic group does you school mainly consist of? Mine is Aftrican American and I think they are going to love Brendan Buckley Universe. I personally loved Defience and Night of the Howling Dogs. My fifth grade is going to teach Night of the Howling Dogs in reading while science is doing the earth sciences (volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, etc.) Then in Oct, they are teaching Me and the Pumpkin Queen. They are also using Punishment to teach a few writing skills.

    Thanks! I've done the same with your shelf. I teach 8th grade language arts. I am constantly trying to find new books to hook reluctant readers. I used to be a Literacy Specialist, but missed the classroom. I look forward to seeing what you add to your shelf.

    Yes, I'm certain I'll enjoy The Living. I grew up in Tacoma and think Annie Dillard one of the great American writers.
    I don't know about antique children's books. As with any collectible one has to find the right buyer.

    I was looking at photos of Vancouver, Canada, thinking about vacationing there next year and found this link to beautiful libraries. Enjoy! http://www.miragebookmark.ch/most-interesting-libraries.htm

    Hi - I saw your profile because of an Annie Dillard book review. My cousin owns one of the two independent children's book stores left in California. I thought you might enjoy looking at their web page: http://lindentree.booksense.com/NASApp/store/IndexJsp
    Linda is a fantastic resource for the best in new (and old) children's books.
