Thankfully I grew up on Lord of the Rings and Redwall as a kid. I read at a high school level in 4th grade o.o
Unfortunately they were trying to force me to read clifford =.=

In high school they actually stuck me in a reading comprehension class... which I managed to pass OUT of with the same reading comprehension level as my teacher...
Why people seem to think I can't read I'll never understand... I mean I read books as thick as a dictionary growing up 
Just takes a little brainpower to figure out what an unfamiliar word means.

I understand that one... I was always reading a lot when I was in school. It was my hobby. But then I got out of college and suddenly my English ability period is almost gone. *sigh*

That is a shame. Reading is wonderful if you have the right books.

Reading is fun yes... but with stuff like twilight and 50 shades... I'm afraid to pick up a modern book these days...

Hi C. Star, things are good here. You?
Poet, that is a good point. I would suggest a book like those by Lee Child. He wrote the Jack Reacher series. The first book or two are a bit over the top but after that it is more realistic.

Haven't heard of him, what's the story?
Mostly what I've read:
RedWall (need to finish)
Foundation Trilogy
Lord of the Rings (Need to read the rest of his books like samalarian or however it's spelled)

lol, Lee Child's Jack Reacher series is very... hard to explain. All the situations are realistic. As in there is no over the top tech or powers or anything. It could be called a thriller I suppose. About a former military guy traveling across the USA with freedom because he owns no property except the clothes on his back.

I see. Sounds interesting... most books I read are based around "adventure" I think.
Ah... the guy I heard about didn't have much to his name

It is very nice to be back :) I need to get up your way sometime, but I don't know when. Kinda broke. Spent all my money getting here or paying people back from helping me. Got a possible part time job helping an old lady nearby until I get an education job.

I understand. Well Jacob is supposed to head off for his corporate training, (then he will be bringing in $400-600 more than he already does  ). As soon as he gets back we are going to start looking for our own place so when you come visit, you can always crash at our place.

She hasn't called yet... but it might be because she was given the wrong number by my aunt who said she would call tonight to see.
On the bright side, I might have a job opportunity teaching world history! So... maybe... soon... :D

My favorite history experience, was reenacting a war where the teacher split us up and had us pelt each other with crumpled papers XD
