For literature and such Story Reading Ape one of best. I like Mark Twain, Edna Ferber, Isaac Asimov, Arthur Conan Doyle, Flannery O’Conner. How tall are you ? A reader can reach the stars !
I’m only 5 feet, Carl. But as you implied, that’s a mere mortal measurement (I love alliteration 🙂 ), and readers can reach the entire universe within nanoseconds 🙂
I loved the library. In 1962 in 8th grade I had a bad foot infection and was excused from PE to work in the library. I love it. I learned how to put the checked in books back, to read the shelves and correct placement, check out books and collect fines. Often there were stories and series in mags like LIFE and learned how to cut them out and assemble in bindings like pamphlets. I think it was a profound education about books. I also got turned on the Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Rice Burroughs, H G Wells and James Fenimore Cooper and of course National Geographic. I think in put me far ahead of my peers.
Brilliant. You must have been on a roll. I was looking for Poetry.
What about ‘Autobiography’? Shelving with mirrors.
What about ‘Music’? Choir
What about … now you’ve got me on a roll.
Yes the possibilities are endless Jasper. Probably could do dozens and dozens for a cartoon book just with this subject. Autobiography with mirrors on shelves is just brilliant ! Will keep that in mind and certainly credit you if I put something together.
