Lizzy, I heard you on the Bob Edwards show this morning–I thought I’d died and gone to heaven! Loved everything you had to say–when I was growing up books were much bigger than my real day-to-day life. They were my intimate friends and remain so til’ this day. I read everything I could get my hands on–next on my list is “Shelf Discoveries”–I wish you the very best and will follow you now that I know how to find you–BOOKS RULE

Hi alana — that is so interesting! I, like most people, am probably quite a partisan for my childhood and that of my friends being the rule. :)

I just heard your interview on the Bob Edwards Show on XMPR. I’m a mid-thirties woman, right smack in the middle of the generation you are talking about and am completely perplexed. I must live in bizzaro world – I have had exactly the opposite experience you have mentioned – me and my girl friends were out playing everywhere and not reading, and all the boys were at home, under their tent/igloo/magic fortress reading. I attended many schools, was in quite a few activities (spanning the gamut of the arts and sciences), ran into many people and was certainly interested in growing my relationship with them (so I believe I knew their activities fairly decently). Same after going to college and meeting people there – the boys spent their young lives running around forests and reading, the girls were out, at each other’s houses, playing make-believe on their prancing ponies, talking on the phone for hours… no time for reading! I honestly didn’t read a book for fun until I met my college sweetheart (now husband) and he thrusted books at me. “Read this!”, he would say, and I was definitely happy with what he gave me, but certainly, books were essentially foreign objects before the age of 18.

I don’t have to act all excited, because AM so excited!! The book is wonderful and I’m so glad it will be FOR SALE so I can make all my friends purchase it.

In this economic environment, it is NOT a silly question, but there is a tour of sorts and I will be publishing more on it soon!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! Do you think there will be a book tour? Is that a silly question?
