Favorite Book: Outwitting History: The Amazing Adventures of a Man Who Rescued a Million Yiddish Books by Aaron Lansky. I cried so many times while reading this. And, sure, I am a sucker for a good cry about rescuing books from garbage cans, but this really was amazing. I’ve love to go to the museum/library they built for the books on the East Coast someday.
Other Worthies: Found and Sent by Margaret Peterson Haddix. And Heist Society by Ally Carter.
Least Favorite Books: The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson by Jerome Charyn. Though it’s possibly I just wasn’t in the right mood for it.
Quote: “Haven’t you heard that thing about how, at any given moment, at least one atom of the air in your lungs was probably once in Cleopatra’s lungs? Or George Washington’s or Albert Einstein’s or Martin Luther King’s, or whoever you want to pick from history?” From Sent by Margaret Peterson Haddix. I’m pretty sure scientifically this isn’t true. …But if it is, how awesome is that?!
