I have several teachers who would like suggestions for reading aloud to their "Super Study" homerooms. They meet each day for 20 minutes during alternate lunches. Would anyone have any good ideas? They would like shorter books, high interest, especially for the guys. Susan Johnston, Librarian Central High School Library 2200 S Roosevelt St Aberdeen, SD 57401 sue.johnston@k12.sd.us<mailto:sue.johnston@k12.sd.us><mailto:sue.johnston@k12.sd.us> Reading is not simply an intellectual pursuit but an emotional and spiritual one. It lights the candle in the hurricane lamp of self; that's why it survives. There are book clubs and book Web sites and books on tape and books online. There are still millions of people who like the paper version, at least for now. And if that changes—well, what is a book, really? Is it its body, or its soul? Would Dickens have recognized a paperback of A Christmas Carol<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1449910416/?tag=nwswk-20>, or, for that matter, a Braille version? Even on a cell-phone screen, Tiny Tim can God-bless us, every one. ~~Anna Quindlen -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
