The bookstores are finally open again!!! I jokingly told the guy working that I had been going through withdrawal, lol. Found a great workbook for Benjamin for over the summer for only $3! That's the most that I paid for anything there. About $40 later I had a sizable stack that Abraham carried home, just 1.5 miles. Found a book of Yeats poetry, Dante's Purgatorio, and a complete version of Kipling's poems. I love his poem, 'The American Rebellion', read it to Abraham last night. He commented that they don't teach poetry at school which is a shame. Poetry stretches the mind just as Mathematics does. Out of all the children Ben enjoys poetry the most, he's always making up funny little poems and puns.
I am trying to remember what long Kipling poem Dad used to recite to put us to sleep. Guess I'll just call and ask, the book has 850 pages and small print.
Oh, and I bought 5 of John Jakes books, has anyone read his stuff before? Abraham is interested in reading them but are they suitable for a 13 year old boy?
