The weather outside was sunny and warm and Paris took advantage of the light breeze to read The Iliad outside on the grass near the library. He had been hesitant to start the book but decided today was as good as any to begin reading it. He placed the Greek/English dictionary beside him and opened the book, but would occasionally look up to watch ( Read more... )

Mattie got into the library early that day, ready to see her tutor again. It was strange--back home, she never would have thought she'd be learning so much out of books. She was much more used to learning common-sense things, like how to ride a horse or how to fire a gun ( Read more... )

Martha had been enjoying going to the college in the village--it was something to do, and she was discovering that she really liked studying English in particular. There was something about escaping into the world of a novel or a short story that she really appreciated ( Read more... )

Liz sat in the library surrounded by study material because studying for the biology exam was far easier than having to actually think about what was happening in real life. She knew she had to make a decision at some point with Max, but having that conversation about Alex and then learning about all that had happened... She shook her head and told ( Read more... )

Now that things had really quieted down again in the village, Jim finally found the time to visit the library. He'd heard fabulous things about the future (or history, depending on your point of view) of aviation from a couple of people lately and it seemed something very interesting would be happening only a few years into his future: supersonic ( Read more... )

Grace was not a fan of the multiplication tables.

They weren't hard just monotonous. Math sucked. So did math homework but if she didn't do it she wouldn't be allowed to watch TV or go hang out with Kamekona and play cards when Danno had work ( Read more... )
