(Not) Judging Books by Their Covers

Self discovery, shmelf discovery. This is my reading adventure through the library, pure and simple.

Fourth Week Wrap

   One month in and I'm feeling fine. I'm also feeling a mite dumbed down. It has struck me, whilst reading from the 920-21's series, that I have too long gorged on dessert and neglected meals. It has been disconcerting to see how long it is taking me to read something that is not fiction. Methinks I must devote more time to exercising my brain.
   That said, I have several books that, I hope, are more meat than fluff. We shall see. I think I will start a poetry and classics reading children with the kids, lest they too suffer the syndrome of dumb down their mother finds herself in. Mayhap, the use of classical language in the Wrap will permit me to pull up my ego by its bootstraps for the moment as well.
  
   Had to make tracks for a moment and what do you know? My Number Four showed me his book and just told me that he can understand it, but it's taking him a while. And do you know why? His library book is written more classically than current books usually are. Well, if that doesn't answer that, then I don't know what does? I believe I will begin the poetry and classics reading series after all.
   This moment opened with personal observation and ended with conviction for balanced change. Fancy that; I'm introspective!  ;)
