Bomer questions page 52 

My current book rides in my backpack, and in a digital copy on my phone. Having the whole series ready kindle style is beyond convenient.


The times I read duing the day are on my breaks at work and before bed.


the biggest challenge with any reading is my neck, Bad posture is killer, and positions that keep me from craning are key. 


Im actually group reading my current book with an rpg group. as we need to know the lore of the world we are learning together, its actually quite community driven.


If I wanted to challenge myself to read, it would probably be somethng dry but important like philosphy books.

As I've discovered, this book only improves with age, and will be a great quick read for my students that ask for something that'll make them think, and feel.

Realistic fiction contrast

 Because of Winn Dixie: Candace Lehman vs. Those shoes: Meribeth Boelts and Noah Jones.  This exercise was interesting as I had read winn dixie as a younger man, and have only read those shoes fairly recently. Winn Dixie as a chapter book gets a much longer time to tell its story than those shoes, yet both stories have themes of friendship, otherness and loneliness. The covers of each book may feature a dog and a pair of shoes respectively, but the role of these subjects is our main characters journeys away from loneliness.
