Jim had to say...

Reading is what it's all about!

I have to say thanks to my mom for getting me hooked on Stephen King (although she claims I got her hooked - it's a minor argurment we have from time to time - LOL!). I have just recently gotten hooked on Dean Koontz. Robin Cook is another great one for me. I also enjoy reading just about anything that has to do with magic, wizards and swords (fantasy stuff) - Weis & Hickman are my favorites there.

I read a lot of Children's/Young Adult books too as I have to keep up with what my students are reading!

No matter how much time I spend reading, it just doesn't seem to be enough. Wouldn't it be nice to get paid to read what you want, when you want? I think that would be my ultimate job. But for now, I'll keep enjoying teaching. I am ALWAYS looking for Box Tops for Education for my school. I would appreciate any you might have!! We are a small rural school and could use any and all help.

All my books come from a non-smoking, pet-free home.
