"Once upon a time in Westphalia, in the castle of Monsieur the Baron von Thunder-ten-tronckh, there lived a young boy on whom nature had bestowed the gentlest of dispositions. His countenance expressed his soul. He combined solid judgment with complete openness of mind; which is the reason, I believe, that he was called Candide." (Opening lines of Candide)| My Head Is Full of Books

Grand-Adventure 1.0, June 2022.| My Head Is Full of Books
I forget some days just how much I need Douglas Adams and his zany sense of humor in my life. Then I read another installment of the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I'm reminded how refreshing laughter can be. | My Head Is Full of Books
Title:The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong| My Head Is Full of Books

Constance has not left the home or the estate since the events of six years prior when the rest of the family died from poisoning and she was tried and acquitted of the crime.

Egads. I am so, so far behind on book reviews. The longer I delay, the less I feel like reviewing the books so I must begin today.| My Head Is Full of Books
This week I reread the 2003 poetry collection, Teaching with Fire:Poetry that Sustains the Courage to Teach. It is actually the second time I've reread it. The first time I read it was in 2007. I was a new high school librarian. I'd been a teacher for 25 years but now I was in a new role within the school -- librarian. I read Teaching with Fire looking for inspiring poems I could share with teachers to encourage them for those hard days. I found a lot in it to not only encourage others, but a...| My Head Is Full of Books

Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy is the biggest downer of all novels. How did this book ever make it as a classic anyone wanted to read?| My Head Is Full of Books
Title:Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe| My Head Is Full of Books
This past weekend was my 50-year high school reunion. To honor that momentous event I decided to create a list of some of my 50 favorite novels (fiction) I've read since high school. In 2005 I became a high school librarian, which made reading part of my job. Therefore, more books on the list are from the last 20 years than the first 30. I hope you enjoy this walk down memory lane with me. Hyperlinks take you to reviews, if I wrote one.| My Head Is Full of Books

Top Ten Tuesday: The last ten books I've read set during a war| My Head Is Full of Books
Several times in the past few months I've examined lists put together by some literary luminary or another and many of the lists name Catch-22 by Joseph Keller in the top 20 Best Books of the 20th Century, some even have it in the top ten. (See lists here, here, here, here, here, and here.) Why? What is it that makes this anti-war novel so influential? Published between two messy wars, WWII and Vietnam, is made a strong indictment of war in general. Pointing out through satire the inhumanity ...| My Head Is Full of Books
