Books are Delightful!

“Reading is a means of thinking with another person's mind; it forces you to stretch your own.”
- Charles Scribner

Never fear! We're all book nerds here!

After reading so much intellectually intense material the last few weeks (Island, Gravity’s Rainbow, The Odyssey, Transforming a Rape Culture, 1Q84, Introduction to Modern Philosophy) it’s nice to sit down and spend an hour reading a book that doesn’t require so much thinking. I just started Wild by Cheryl Strayed and it is amazing. It’s really intelligently written and witty and inspiring. Loving it. I’ll pick up The Odyssey again tomorrow…

I need some help, fellow book lovers!

I’m looking for books for a 7 year old girl to help her get to love reading! So, what were your favorite books when you were between 5 and 7 years old??

Thank you, miss-mutant, for bringing to my attention the mis-credit in the quote I posted earlier. It was not said by Robet Pattinson (big surprise) but was actually said by Rosemarie Urquico!
