Today I'm reading...

This week I'm reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. It is not something I would have picked up on my own but my book club selected it. That's what I love the most about being in a book club besides the friendship and the wine. I am thoroughly enjoying this woman's journey to discover more about herself. Her writing style is delicious--funny, familiar and moving all at the same time.

Week 3.5

I set up a Flickr account right after Staff Day because I was disappointed that we didn't really get to see all the wonderful staff photos that Eva and Eric took. I thought we could just post them to Flickr and put a link in the Weekly News so everyone could see them at their leisure. Some people said they weren't comfortable putting their picture up on the Internet so I never followed through with it.

So when I started this exercise I figured I was ahead of the game and that it wouldn't take TOO long--Wrong. This has been a lot of fun, but I'm grateful that we have more time to do it. I'm not nearly finished and I don't even want to confess how long it has taken me to figure out the ins and outs of Flickr. I happened on all of Monica Smith's photos when I was looking at the librarian trading cards--nice photos Monica!

SPL 2.0 Lesson 2

I guess I got ahead of myself because I set up this blog last week. What I would like to blog about is books and titles I have enjoyed. I'd also like to hear about what others are reading and whether they would recommend those titles and why.

I am currently reading Tevye the Dairyman for the Jewish Lit program at South Hill. It took me awhile to get into it but I am starting to appreciate it now that I have gotten to know Tevye a little better. I probably won't read all the Railroad stories, but it has been a good introduction to the culture Sholem Aleichem is artfully describing.
