My favorite ever teacher from childhood, Mr. Hills, sat and read aloud The Odyssy and the Illiad ...I think? Just remembered as I typed this opener Witty, was confusing them with your Ulysses comment.
Anyway, FIFTH GRADE over EVERYONE's head
(and i doubt I could slog through them today but)
Great exposure to reading, the english language, big/old WORDZ,
Thanks Mr. Hills. Thanks Witty.
It may be obvious, but my favorite book I ever read was
House of Leaves.
And it's not even close. Not even close. Only read it once - almost 20 yrs ago.
