I read "The Fault in Our Stars" yesterday and this morning and was surprised at the decency of the writing. Loved how the author captured the "otherworld" created with two people in love and two people in love and dying.
A nice, if not heart-jerking read.

John Green seems to be the newest author on my "read everything they've done" list.

"Looking for Alaska" is next. Working at home today and always enjoy a good audiobook while coding. Both sides of the brain engaged! WEE.

I am reading the "Fifty Shades" trilogy. I know i am slow on the uptake and it's been around a long time.

But. It's really awesome.

Forever a romantic i am.

Reading a bunch of mind-bending stuff for a general semantics class.
Although, I'm getting pulled in by the works of Alfred Korzybski.

For fun, I'm still trying to find time to finish We Are Water by Wally Lamb. Each time I get to pick up the book I feel as though I'm starting over.

I taught "The Fault in Our Stars" this semester to a group of Grade 12s. We all loved it!
