Reading is sexy

So back to books and reading

In some of the earlier grades we had "reading time" as part of our classroom day. So for about 20 min I would guess, we could read something of our choice, probably something we had picked up at the library earlier. I constantly got in trouble for "ignoring" my teachers when they called us back together at the end of our reading time. But I wasn't ignoring them by any means. I just literally could not hear them because I was so into my book.

Today I was waiting for my new I.D. to be printed (for my giant nerd fellowship) and the fella at the counter had to call my name loudly more than once. I sheepishly apologized and explained that I get really into my books. He smiled, shook his head and asked what I was reading. Well, Confessions of a Nervous Shiksa, of course. Which I am really enjoying, it is slightly better than fluffy chic lit.
