I give up!
In its stead, I have decided to pick up a piece of historical fiction that I started in the summer of 2003, but didn't finish (a pattern?) for lack of time. See, our students are starting a historical fiction project, so I thought I'd play along. Now we're all reading historical fiction.
Mine is Centennial by James Michener. Now, I know you're thinking, "Lou Ann is a very slow reader, and Michener is a very long writer." Yup - it may take me a while (maybe all summer?) ... but I am going to thoroughly enjoy Centennial. And, you probably won't even hear me philosophize about it (unless I am pining for the mountains of Colorado!)
