]]> Lots About Books—and Grandchildren
I can read books my grandchildren are reading. That’s the new reality I discovered this year.
One of my grandsons now has a long commute and is doing a lot of reading so I have suggested some books for him: “Go Set a Watchman” by Harper Lee; and “The Nightingale” by Kristin Hannah; and Kurt has suggested some books for me: “The Martian” by Andy Weir; “The Girl on the Train” by Paula Hawkins; and “Divergent” by Veronica Roth. And what fun it has been to read them around the same time and then be able to talk about them. I love it.
Delainey, age 11, suggested “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane” and what a delightful book that I might never have discovered on my own. Thanks Delainey! Sadie, age 13, read “To Kill a Mockingbird” and that was a book I had given each of my grandchildren who were old enough to be reading it. What powerful books to have in common.
My grandson Zack is an ultra-runner: marathons and beyond. So in an effort to understand this phenomenon, I started reading books about it. The most recent one was “Dare to Run” by Amit Sheth. I found it an inspiring book whether you are a runner or not. He set goals—and I do likewise. He runs—I don’t. But I still strive for the completion of the goals.
