so, lest you think i’ve just resorted to all videos, all the time…

“a curious mind” – just finished from the weekend – a hollywood producer’s lifetime of setting up listening conversations – learning from other people – there was some good stuff about how to frame stories – which would affect our writing of them in class – definitely a good choice from the local library

“raymie nightingale” – great, great book – very easy to read – historical fiction – 1975 – three girls taking baton for the summer – all with things that complicate their lives – hauntingly beautiful at times – really enjoyed it – PLUS – picture of white boots on the cover so that was good

“canterbury tales” – off and on for several weeks, i read the original – 90 percent of the time, the translation, to be precise – so 300-pages plus – definitely something i needed to do – still not sure why high school kids have to read it – other than for the allusions – i guess what surprised me were the number of times i head echoes of the king james bible language in there – this was before KJV so i would think there was an influence there

“first family” – football book – the matthews family line – three generations – good book with a Christian faith theme – good talk over with my dad

i’m always up to hear what you’re working on so feel free to chime in with a comment

sincerely,

mayfield

long live the king – Austin F – from 2008 – back when a mile was a mile – not the 1/2 that you complain about today…
