Confessions of a Book Junkie
May. 28th, 2007 12:43 pmThe archeology continues. Layers upon layers of who I've been and who I am get stripped away as I remember what I read. 'Cause I still have all the books. Dozens upon dozens, hundreds, prolly thousands of volumes.
Why keep the kids' books? Some're for my nieces and nephews when they come visit, as my grandparents kept young adult novels for me and my cousins (some of which I now have). Others...well, apparently I'm not fully convinced that I won't end up involved w/someone w/kids, or something. Yeah, I'm making a stack of books for certain kids who I'm close to, but...but there're far more still.
The best part of student teaching was reading aloud to the classroom. Heck, I like reading aloud and being aloud to with adults, too. Aaaaahhhh, must get back at it...
