What we’re reading now

I haven’t finished The Human Story yet, but since I own it and its really quite large, I am in no hurry. I just read one of the Sandman comics, A Game of You, a graphic novel that D brought home from the library and suggested that I read. It’s the fifth book in a series, and I’d not read any of the first four, but each book is apparently quite readable on its own. It was fantastic. I am not super into graphic novels, or comic novels or whatever you want to call them, but this was superb. Then again, Neil Gaiman is in fact, my favorite author.

We finished reading C Time Cat and now we’re reading the Cat Who Wished to Be a Man, another gem from Llyod Alexander. Alexander passed away very recently, following his wife in death by just two weeks.

A’s obsession with Skippy Jon Jones has decreased somewhat, and she is enjoying hearing C’s chapter books, while also reading a great deal of Dr. Seuss classics. She’s especially fond of Horton Hatches the Egg, Horton Hears a Who, and the Grinch .

    Love love love Neil Gaiman. If I ever manage to get back in the classroom I plan to use his Smoke and Mirrors story collection in an English class.

    Update: C decided she didn’t want to hear The Cat Who Wished to be A Man, so we’re reading William Goldman’s The Silent Gondoliers instead.
