Yikes! I almost missed it!
Well, actually, I will because I’m just too busy this weekend, but you, my faithful readers, will not have to miss Free Comic Book Day! So, quickly, before all the good ones are gone, find yourself a local comic shop and get your free comic! (Okay, check first to see if they’re participating, because not everyone is.)
C’mon, it’s a kind of literacy! It helps your spelling, I promise. Don’t use me as an example, I started reading Larry Niven in the Fifth Grade. If I’d started with comics, my spelling would have been better.
Honest. You can trust me. I would not lie about something as important as this.

  2. Yeah, my brother got tired of me asking what the books were all about based on the covers and shoved one into my hand. “Here, read it for yourself and find out!” he told me. The first book was Ringworld. The rest is history! 🙂

  3. “Ringworld” was great, but when I read the sequels, the story started becoming dull and went in directions that lost the original sense of wonder.

  4. Looks like it’s time to place it into the hands of my voracious 11-year-old. I’m a bit hesitant, because I know he’ll never be the same.
    Drop me a line if you have other good suggestions for an 11-year old who reads on a high-school level…sounds like probably all of us here at that age. ;*)
