So, shocking as it is, I read. I read Big 5, I read the ingredients on my food, I even read independently published and some small press stuff.

As you probably know, I’m not a big fan of ereading. I have a tablet that’s got a great screen, but never felt the need for a specialized ( Read more... )

One of the most fascinating things about Homo sapiens is our adaptability. Think of the athlete who trains year round, the neurosurgeon who makes cuts using a robot and a laser that are minute, the statistician who carries a hundred 20 character or more formulas n their head, and ( Read more... )

Hello,

One of my friends has an active 8 yr old boy. She's (my friend) not a big reader, and I don't actually remember what I read at that age. We were looking for suggestions and a little info on the book.
