I'm kind of the same way. I tend to look for new (or new to me, anyway) material that is similar to the books that I already love. Which means I wind up reading (or listening to on Librivox) a lot of Regency-era stuff, but I'm fine with that. So help me, I like a happy ending, and modern or contemporary literature seems to scoff at that. Yeah, life is hard but I don't need to read a novel to know that. When I read I prefer to see things turn out okay in the end. If that makes me an escapist, sue me! <br /><br />I discovered recently that the Penguin Classics website has a radio section with interviews about literature- most of which was unfamiliar to me- and some video, as well, but I haven't gotten into any of that yet. I've enjoyed listening to discussions about literature there, particularly because I don't often have the chance to have those kinds of conversations myself these days.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946043005796746807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365777392472262579.post-42091836403318755002009-08-31T09:45:33.530-05:002009-08-31T09:45:33.530-05:00Pretty, Mary!Pretty, Mary!Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946043005796746807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365777392472262579.post-52770316588747543412009-08-28T23:22:00.325-05:002009-08-28T23:22:00.325-05:00I saw this today and it made me sad, too.

I regret that it will not be there for Ginny when she begins to read on her own. Reducing reading to simple mechanics sucks the life out of the experience. <br /><br />Are they no longer interested in retaining children who already know how to read as a part of the PBS audience?Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946043005796746807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365777392472262579.post-16577877067126926142009-08-19T15:08:23.870-05:002009-08-19T15:08:23.870-05:00I'm glad to know we don't just have a weir...I'm glad to know we don't just have a weird piece of land that inhabited by these weird things!

I see them everywhere and we have to keep a close eye on Ginny when she goes out to play because she *loves* to pick them.
