Peter Troughton has to be my third- or fourth-favorite Doctor. He's really incredible. I want to fight a fiction war. I want to live in a world where everyone reads. If I ever get married he has to read. Hands down. If he doesn't read he DOES have to make up for it with Star Trek or Doctor Who. Preferably BOTH. But mostly he has to read.
My brothers don't read much. My mother has no time to read. I want to talk about BOOKS, man!
(If YOU want to talk about books, especially classics, e-mail me. Please. Bai.Lihua@yahoo.com. I want to talk about books.)
I am writing a Scary Story for the kids who need one, usually two, before bedtime. This is fun babysitting. This is also bilingual babysitting.
I am now tutoring in Chinese. The first time was confusing, for both me and the student (a few years younger than myself). I don't know how she learns, the way she takes things in, and I assumed it might be similar to mine. Looks like it's probably not. So I suppose if she wants to ask questions I'll answer them. That will most likely teach me more about her method of absorption than my just spewing information ... and she was good. Most people can't repeat words with the same delicacy she did. I was pleased. And she was dedicated.
Today is MY Chinese lesson. Tomorrow is HER Chinese lesson. Fun times. Truly. I love it.

Are you on Goodreads,(http://www.goodreads.com/) EmilyLihuaFavoriteRhodeIslander? It's a good place to see what others are reading (and a place to keep track of what you have read). I'll always talk books with anyone.
ReplyDeleteI've just finished a Diane Wynn Jones orgy, and am going to read all the Terry Pratchett I have soon. They aren't classics, but...
Now that work is a little lighter, I can read more - it is my summer pasttime. And winter and spring and fall!
FavoriteRhodeIslander? No way! I've never used Goodreads, no. I'll look it up. And a book doesn't NEED to be classified as classic (classicised?) to be good to discuss for me. Summer reading is fun. Even my youngest brother has taken it up. I shall visit GoodReads tonight and check it out.
