Did You Read Enough This Quarter?

I just finished grading my last paper for the quarter--ready to finish inputting grades tomorrow! As I was grading my students' end-of-quarter reflections, I realized that one of my students read 52 books last quarter (8 weeks). Twain, Asimov, Christie, Bradbury, Wells--You name it, he read it. If I hadn't read his journal, I wouldn't believe it. He reads nearly a book a day. I love it!

Wow.

That's all I have to say about that. Now, back to reading. :)

Here's my current read:


A lovely book written one hundred years ago by Mary Johnston on the occasion of the tercentennial of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America. As we now are in the year of the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, and I will be lucky enough to visit in May, I thought it was the perfect time to brush up on my colonial history through fiction. Review coming soon...for now, I'm going to enjoy a good story!

  • A lovely book! I actually ran across an old copy of it in a second-hand shop and throughly enjoyed it.
