Re: Favorites

[Marcia Berbeza <Mberbeza@aol.com>]

Hi LM_NETters!  Mary Ann made a really good point about reading our favorites
over and over.  I still do that with some books, and dare I admit that some
of my favorites are what I call "Junk Food Romances?"  They do nothing for
my brain, but they feel sooo good going down!  That's one reason that I have
always encouraged children to read series books.  They build the reading
habit.  The kids have a guaranteed read, that they know that they will enjoy,
and they are practicing those reading skills.  It's not great literature, but
frankly I don't want great literature that will tear me apart emotionally
everytime I read, why should they?  Marcy
