I am a High School Science teacher in Arkansas. I love acoustic guitars, a good cup of coffee, and once loved baseball but now I'm too old to play (snivel). I'm always reading reading reading! Why? Because I'll never have the chance to be an aging Apache squaw in 1850, a once-prosperous Jew in a Nazi concentration camp, or an African tribal leader as he watches British imperialists restructure the only world he's ever known. I read for an understanding of these many human agonies that I'lve never had to endure, and hopefully to gain some of the strength these people employed as they struggled. I'm continually building myself, hopefully for the better, and I want to be formed from more than my own limited set of experiences. I want to use the imaginations and experiences of others as well ! Others like...Victor Hugo, C.S. Lewis, Any Rand, Marie Corelli, and you!
