Just finished reading an academic book that I read sections for a course for my Master's degree. Now that I have read the whole book it is a series of articles written by Roger Sutton and Martha V. Parravano, who are editors for 'The Horn Book Magazine'. This is a book that covers children's literature from baby books to young adult books. The pages shaded in gray throughout the book are lists of books for brief synopses of each book for each level of the reader's development. To me the main premise of this academic book is to get children, youth and teens to read books of all kinds and maybe talk about them with other adults.

I am a person who really likes to read and write and to share what I learned with all my education. My page will mainly be book reviews and critiques of old and new books that I have read and will read. There will also be other bits, too.

Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-Earth
Here is another book written and created by J.R.R. Tolkien and edited by his son Christopher Tolkien. This is a collection of chapters mainly from 'The Silmarillion' with various other notes for the stories that his son added and finished the book. This was a book that read along with reading 'The Silmarillion'. 'Unfinished Tales' was an interesting read in its' own right though.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
