Social networking - FB and Twitter seem to be things I see a lot in those advice type articles.

That, my friend, is some serious dedication to an author.;)

Hey, I didn't even know people do "lurking"... guess I'm just too opinionated to consider it.

I never could read in the car. So I haven't tried it of late. I instantly get a headache.

Hunger Games Trilogy started out great then went straight downhill (IMHO). Pride and PRejudice was one rare book I actually liked that they made me read in school...I never had to read the other two, but out of curiosity, I listened to To Kill a Mockingbird on CD. It was alright and I see why...

This concept reminds me of the librarians who used to ride a circuit. I read a book about them somewhat recently (3ish months).

That keeps changing. I seem to be on a Margaret Peterson Haddix kick, so I guess she's the current fav. Brandon Sanderson's a definite favorite, though I must say I didn't care all that much for the middle-grade book (Rithmatist) not compared to his other works.

Among the Barons by Haddix

Among the Brave by Margaret Peterson Haddix Among the Free also by Haddix.

Not really, but that's probably because I've heard of parents reading the stories to their children and the audio CD cover art makes it look like 9-10 would be fine for those stories.

Welcome. I dunno about "high in education" but interested in reading's a guarantee around here.

I learned to type at a forum similar to this. The best way to do something like understanding the English language better is to experience as much of it as you possibly can. To that end, I would actually advice you to read some YA and middle grade stories. (I am an adult but YA is one of my...

I finally finished reading my first book on a kindle...only took me 2 yrs to accomplish :-P

I actually don't love it, but I wanted to see what people thought of the movie version. I'm hearing it was pretty true to the book.

So, what's your book about? Writing's a way of life for some people.

True, but I've stopped reading most Star Wars EU stuff....after NJO, they went straight downhill.

There's a Hardy Boys book that mentions chemistry? oooooh, learn something new every day.

I'm enjoying the Shadow Children series...it's sort of like Hunger Games light...same theme of oppressive futuristic gov't. Cherub series by Robert Muchamore might be good.... but it's got some pretty mature themes and language.

You'd consider Narnia preteen? The adventures of Frog and Toad? The Littles? Margaret Peterson Haddix has some great stories...Shadow Children series...but they may be too old for 8. I guess it really depends on the kid's reading level and maturity.

crafter of what? What do you like to read? Some people are very specific about the genres they read.
