Awesome. My most obscure read was Panottis Endings of Practically Everything and Everyone. Complete with thanatographies…

Most obscure reading love: dictionaries. My brother swears he learned to read from the dictionary. I love them, too. My favorite classroom book in my boy-only middle-school classroom: ‘How Things Work’ – pictures with technical explanations for how machines do what they do.
Enjoyed your thoughts enormously.

Soon we must get together at that non-virtual table!

“Allow ourselves the gift of exposure to literature we might not quite be ready for.” That’s what I was looking for… Thanks again!

Reading is fundamental. Glad you liked the post. So important to challenge ourselves and push the envelope. I touched on this briefly in the post. Gotta start by making it fun. Thanks for writing, as always!! Hugs!

Wow, there is so much to comment on with the your friends’ dialogue. I guess my advice is you should read about things you don’t know about, as that is how you learn. You should read about stuff that makes you think or challenge your thinking. One of my favorite movies was on yesterday “Three Days of the Condor” with Robert Redford. His job was to read books for the CIA to see if he could spot trends or plots that could harm the US. When his group is murdered for something he discovered, he goes undergound and evades detection and spies on the spies themselves, When someone in the CIA asked how he knew what to do, the answer was “he reads.” I thought that was pretty profound. Thanks Donna, BTG

Marsha & I are pretty close to getting to the head of the table (though we both have older siblings). I remember when our mutual grand parents and aunt died, my mother made a comment about not having anyone in line before her and her sister any more. Glad we are at the table together.

Thank you! It’s like that jar analogy. Fill it with big rocks first then move to the gravel then fill in the sand. If you focus on the unimportant sand, the jar fills with that first and there’s no room for anything else. Glad you liked this!!! Have a great weekend.
