So, Tina Fey's autobiography: not a classroom book.  This goes without saying, yes?  But we're all allowed to read a grown up book on occasion, also yes?

Listen, it took me forever to read this book, but not because it's unreadable.  Simply, as I previously stated, I was insanely busy and insanely busy people don't get to sit for three hours and finish a book.  That's just how life works.  Tina Fey is funny, thus this book is funny.  Also, the cover freaks me out.  Let me just say, though, that if you're ultra sensitive to content and some crude humor (Harry Potter makes me want to spell that humour) and language then don't read it.  It's not the kind of funny for you.  I really enjoyed the stream of consciousness kind of jump around plot line that none the less presents a full and complete story with some personal insight.  Recommend? Yes, but it's not for everyone.

Percy Jackson

Hey all, sorry I dropped of the face of the planet.  I got a teaching job at the last minute and had a lot to do.  I finished the Percy Jackson series and quite enjoyed it (the fourth and fifth books were my favorites), but not enough to start reading the other Camp Half-Blood books and wait for them to come out.  I think the series as a whole is a great fantasy read for kids and you don't really have to be concerned much with content except for the youngest readers.  Perhaps I'm a little too liberal on this front, but I don't think any of the content would prevent me from letting a reader of any age read it.  It's not nightmare material in my opinion.

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that I am still reading (and my books are currently late to the library) and I'm alive.  What are you reading these days?
