(Working for the World's Worst Micromanager was not a good part and is why I don't do that any more.) But I love reading and especially love being a book pusher, cause there are some great books out there! I like the Percy Jackson books, the Dark Materials trilogy, and the Ranger's Apprentice series.

Unlike nonfiction, fiction seems to me to be able to slip into our psyches sideways, under the radar, directly into our right brain, bypassing the logical, overly rational, linear grownup left brain, and going directly to our innermost selves.<BR/><BR/>I checked out the MySpace page; not a lot there beyond what you can see on Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19341251.post-18435085074105124882007-08-17T11:29:00.000-05:002007-08-17T11:29:00.000-05:00I loved the Patterson book that introduced Max and...I loved the Patterson book that introduced Max and company (I think it was When The Wind Blows) and didn't realize Maximum Ride was a continuation and expansion.

I have a 15 yo who taught himself to read at the ripe old age of 3 1/2 - when I told him a way to figure out words was to think of letters as saying their own names. Two weeks later, he was reading every road sign he saw - quite accurately, I might add. So how do you figure out what to give a precocious reader?
