Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

Dragonflower says,

Be sure to give yourself a deadline for finishing it!

MotorCityMich says,

Not a problem! I'm a fast reader and I'm enjoying it. :D

But he's already asked twice if I've finished... good thing my policy is to read any book a kid is jazzed enough about to bring me so we can talk about it. :P

MotorCityMich says,

Well, other than "Twilight".

Dragonflower says,

Aww, I loved Twilight saga, until the last one. :) Then it just got wierd. (my opinion)

That is so nice you read the books to discuss with the students. I was always disappointed when I'd recommend a book I loved to someone and then never talk about it again.

canadafreeze says,

Love that book - a real bench mark. Happy reading:-)

MotorCityMich says,

I just meant that I couldn't finish it even though a kid recommended it.

I have always thought it was my responsibility to try to help kids love reading, so when a kid shows any enthusiasm for a book with me, I try to read it so they can talk to me about it. It's how I wound up reading about ten of the "Wheel of Time" books. That was a challenge too! LOL

This book, though, is totally up my alley and the kid knew it so I'm more than happy to read it and be a book nerd with him. Nerds rule!

We need more teachers like you :D

MotorCityMich says,

Aww shucks! I don't know about that, but I just think that getting kids to love reading is sort of my "prime directive" and ultimately so much more important than some of the things I'm required to do. When I get a chance to get a kid hooked on reading, I'm going to do it!

Besides, I'm loving the book. :D

MCM, I haven't read this book either, but will do so shortly, since you have brought it up. Also, very proud of you for being an involved teacher. Kudos.

MotorCityMich says,

Thanks lovelylizard, and I hope you will enjoy the book. It's got a wonderful mix of humor, scifi, and silliness... but it's also pretty darn awesome thus far..
