Some of my students just finished Of Mice and Men for their English class, and we had an enthusiastic discussion about whether or not George did the right thing at the end of the book. Is there anything better than a kid talking excitedly about a book?ecgsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-42225450467125715212011-01-06T12:20:35.741-08:002011-01-06T12:20:35.741-08:00times are changing...
Lower your carbon footprint...times are changing...<br /><br />Lower your carbon footprint, don't buy all those books that have to be created and shipped all creating pollution. Your ride to the bookstore increases your footprint. Stay home with your e-reader and download a book!

I've tried the Kindle, but didn't like it at all. <br />I love the feel of a good novel in my hand. :)<br />I love the fact that you took him to City Lights to get some new treasured books.
