It's always hard at the end of the school year to maintain focus. I empathize greatly with the kids. Today was hectic in the extreme. Along with teaching my classes, I also worked today to iron out the final details of the High School Summer Reading and helped with the Middle School summer reading set up. I also cooked us a breakfast and a lunch and "facilitated" Thomas in cooking dinner. Busy as the day was, I still managed to finish three books. I was almost done with one when I woke this morning and two were graphic novels, so it's not as crazy as it sounds.
All three books were very good. In fact, all the books I've read this week have been winners. There is something just delicious about trying a new book and being excited about it.
Tsundoku is a Japanese word that means to buy more books than anyone could possibly read. As a lifestyle it speaks to me as a pursuit of knowledge as a way of living.
