Odd and the Frost Giants

[purpura]

I just finished Odd and the Frost Giants, by Neil Gaiman. It was simply marvelous. Not only is it entertaining and an easy read but it gives a wonderful grounding in Norse Mythology

I'll get to it eventually. I have the first three books to the Peter and the Starcatcher's series next to my bed now. I might start reading those to the kids during our reading time, though I've been letting Grant do all of the reading lately.

Jack has been reading to Charlie at night. It's so cute I could just *ded*

[lawchicky]

Yeah, Grant reads to Olivia every afternoon now. It's too cute.

Yaaayyy Jack! It is the sacred responsibility of an older sibling to do this. I would also read subtitles or text that appeared in TV shows or movies...didn't stop doing that automatically when I at a movie with someone until I realized I was reading aloud to someone's mother and possibly she didn't need me to read the words for her.

Yep - it's a good one! I read it twice in a row without stopping. The boys are almost old enough for it, chapter by chapter...

I often have conversations with myself. It's often discussion with the only intelligent person around...;)

[lawchicky]

I say talking to yourself is a sign of genius. In fact I tell myself that every day ;)

[fireglideflht]

I find that arguing with myself though isn't really a challenge-I win every time...;)

[lawchicky]

See, I find that I can never win! Maybe I'm my own worst enemy though.
