About my library Still not finished uploading all my books, but getting there slowly...

I should note that anything I've tagged 'family' is not necessarily family reading, it just means I've borrowed it from someone in my family!

My students do often ask questions or point out details that I had not noticed in previous readings of a book. For instance, my sophomores read A Separate Peace. Students many times will dismiss the book because, they're, like, so gay. That had not even occurred to me when I read it. (Truthfully, some of them may not have thought of it either if Cliffs Notes hadn't said so. On rereading, it is very possible.) So we have discussions about that possibility and how that might affect the other themes. And then I try to steer them to look at some of the other aspects of the novel. You know, so I don't get fired, or get parents sicked on me. :) This was a book I didn't particularly like at first and these discussions actually made me appreciate it more. Thanks, kids!
