WE BUY BOOKS!

I'm finding it so moving to watch Michael "play" with his Kindle. I said before that his first purchase was Jon Krakauer's INTO THE WILD, a book that's a summer reading requirement by his future high school. He's uploaded some free educational games since, but he's also purchased now (for a mere $1.79!) THE COMPLETE MARK TWAIN COLLECTION (over 300 works). And I believe his next book purchase will be John Steinbeck's GRAPES OF WRATH (another recommended summer reading by his high school). That's moi boy! Studies show that the two biggest factors to contribute to a student's high school experience are (1) parental involvement, and (2) reading! Check and check!

As for Mama Moi, here's my latest BOUGHT POETRY List!
