#5 - Where the Sidewalk Ends...

Please share your views on the activity of reading.  So many of us enjoyed reading as a child only to lose that love of books as we grew older.  What happened?  Do you still like to read?  What do you read?  Where do you read?  What is your favorite book ever?  Author?  If you don't like to read, please offer reasons why.

#4 - Essays! Ugh!

As you finish up your essay on the short stories we have read in class, please comment on your writing process.  What did you have the most trouble with?  What aspects of writing essays are you most comfortable with after all these years?  Remember--if you don't feel a little stressed, you're probably not doing it the right way :-)
