I can still picture the Morristown, NJ public library where I spent hours of my young life picking out books to read and devouring them as fast as I could. My favorites I read over and over. Heidi, Anne of Green Gables, The Little Lame Prince, Marjorie's Busy Days. I could go on and on. Laurie, thanks for bringing up the subject of books we read as children. I'm having fun remembering all those books I loved.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120957370014632819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099481917896805377.post-26815175110602771352010-01-05T16:35:50.343-08:002010-01-05T16:35:50.343-08:00I read when I was a kid, but I was such a slow rea...I read when I was a kid, but I was such a slow reader that I usually just held and thumbed through the books. I was probably reading too advanced for my age.<br /><br />I just finished Last Night at the Lobster, by Stewart O'Nan. About the night before a mid-Connecticut Red Lobster closes. It takes place 4 days before Christmas, so it was a good time to read it. It's short, but very engrossing. I'm also slogging through Roberto Bolano's epic 2666. Maybe I'll finish that this year, maybe next, we'll see. <br /><br />Great blog Laurie.

I guess I was somewhere in between my two sisters. ;)<br /><br />Love the pic!Cynthia Sherrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288379745961381697noreply@blogger.com
